Heilig Wesen! gestört hab' ich die goldene 
  Götterruhe dir oft, und der geheimeren,
    Tiefern Schmerzen des Lebens
      Hast du manche gelernt von mir.

O vergiß es, vergib! gleich dem Gewölke dort
  Vor dem friedlichen Mond, geh' ich dahin, und du
    Ruhst und glänzest in deiner
      Schöne wieder, du süßes Licht!

Verontschuldiging

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Apostel)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Heilig wezen! Verstoord heb ik de gouden
godenrust van jou vaak, en de geheimere,
diepere pijnen des levens
Sommige door jou van mij geleerd.

O vergeet het, vergeef! Zoals de wolk ginder
Voor de vredige maan, ga ik daarheen, en jij
Rust blijft en glanst in je schoonheid
verder, jij zoet licht!
