Ruhn in Frieden alle Seelen, Die vollbracht ein banges Quälen, Die vollendet süßen Traum, Lebenssatt, gebohren kaum, Aus der Welt hinüber schieden; Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! ... Liebevoller Mädchen Seelen, Deren Thränen nicht zu zählen, Die ein falscher Freund verließ, Und die blinde Welt verstieß; Alle, die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden! ... Und die nie der Sonne lachten, Unterm Mond auf Dornen wachten, Gott, im reinen Himmels-Licht, Einst zu sehn von Angesicht: Alle, die von hinnen schieden, Alle Seelen ruhn in Frieden!

Reposez en paix, toutes les âmes, Qui en ont fini avec un tourment plein d'anxiété, Qui en ont fini avec de doux rêves, Qui, rassasiées de la vie, à peine nées, Ont quitté ce monde : Que toutes les âmes reposent en paix ! ... Âmes des jeunes filles pleines d'amour, Dont les larmes ne peuvent être comptées, Qu'un ami infidèle a abandonnée, Et que le monde aveugle a repoussée : Que toutes celles qui sont parties d'ici, Que toutes les âmes reposent en paix ! ... Et celles qui n'ont jamais souri au soleil, Veillant sur les épines sous la lune, Pour voir Dieu dans la lumière pure des cieux, Et le regarder une seule fois face à face : Que toutes celles qui sont parties d'ici, Que toutes les âmes reposent en paix !
