Scheide, ach scheide Doch nur von Liebe nicht, Blüht Liebe gleich zu Leide, Ist sie doch Lebens-Licht! Scheide, ach scheide, Doch nur von Hoffnung nicht, Sie ist ein Stern im Leide, Ein Gottvergißmeinnicht! Scheide, ach scheide Doch nur vom Glauben nicht! Der sagt dir: Liebe, leide, Und hoff' in meinem Licht! Scheide, ach scheide Doch nur vom Leide nicht! Wer nicht kennt Lieb' im Leide, Der kennt nicht Lieb' im Licht!

Part, ah only part Not from love, Even if love immediately blossoms into suffering, It is still the light of life! Part, ah only part Not from hope! It is a star in suffering, A God-forget-me-not! Part, ah only part Not from faith! Faith tells you: love, suffer And hope in my light! Part, ah only part Not from suffering! Whoever does not know love in suffering, Does not know love in light!
