Es treibt mich hin, es treibt mich her! Noch wenige Stunden, dann soll ich sie schauen, sie selber, die schönste der schönen Jungfrauen; - du treues Herz, was pochst du so schwer! Die Stunden sind aber ein faules Volk! Schleppen sich behaglich träge, schleichen gähnend ihre Wege; - tummle dich, du faules Volk! Tobende Eile mich treibend erfaßt! Aber wohl niemals liebten die Horen; - heimlich im grausamen Bunde verschworen, spotten sie tückisch der Liebenden Hast.

Je déambule, de‑ci de‑là ! Encore quelques heures et je pourrai la regarder, Elle, la plus belle des belles jeunes filles ; Toi, cœur fidèle, pourquoi bats‑tu si fort ! Mais les heures sont paresseuses ! Elles se traînent confortablement, indolentes, Elles rampent en baillant sur leur chemin ; Dépêchez‑vous, paresseuses ! Une furieuse hâte me saisit et me pousse Mais, sûr, les heures n'ont jamais aimé ; Liées par un secret et cruel serment, Traîtreusement, elles se moquent de la hâte amoureuse.
