Überall, wohin mein Auge blicket,
Herrschet Liebe, find' ich ihre Spur;
Jedem Strauch und Blümchen auf der Flur
Hat sie tief ihr Siegel eingedrücket.
Sie erfüllt, durchglüht, verjüngt und schmücket
Stets das All der wirkenden Natur;
Erd' und Himmel, jede Kreatur
Lebt und webt durch sie, von ihr beglücket.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1-2 of the original text.
Note: A later version of Kalchberg's poem (see below) has a different rhythm. Mandyczewski, the editor of Schubert's first edition, who did not know Schubert's source from "Selam", used this later version of the poem to create a second stanza which would fit to the rhythm of Schubert's music (Schubert wrote only the first stanza explicitly down in his manuscript, but added the comment "dazu eine Strophe"):
Sie erfüllt, durchglüht, verjüngt und schmücket Alles Lebende in der Natur; Erd' und Himmel, jede Creatur, Leben nur durch sie, von ihr beglücket.

Arreu, on miren els meus ulls, hi regna l’amor, hi trobo la seva empremta; a cada matoll, a cada flor del camp, ell hi ha imprès el seu segell. Ell emplena, inspira, rejoveneix i adorna sempre la totalitat de la natura vivent; la terra i el cel, totes les criatures, viuen i es mouen gràcies a ell, que les omple de goig.
