Ich weiß, warum der Mond so blaß und trübe Den Stern der Erde immerdar umkreist; Er geht den Weg der Sehnsucht und der Liebe, Die Straße, wo auch ich mich matt gereist. Du hältst mich fest, ich kann dir nicht entfliehen; Du reißt mich hin und bist doch ewig fern - O meine Welt! mich stets dir nachzuziehen, Ermüde nie, ich folge ja so gern.

Je sais pourquoi la lune si pâle et si trouble Tourne pour toujours autour de l'étoile de la terre ; Elle avance sur le chemin de la nostalgie et de l'amour, La route que moi aussi, abattue, j'ai parcourue. Tu me retiens, je ne puis m'enfuir ; Tu m'attires, et pourtant tu es éternellement loin -- Ô mon univers ! Attire-moi toujours à toi, Ne te lasse jamais, je te suivrai si volontiers.
