Weit in nebelgrauer Ferne
Liegt mir das vergang'ne Glück,
Nur an Einem schönen Sterne
Weilt voll Liebe noch der Blick,
Aber wie der Sternen Pracht
Bleibt es nur ein Schein der Nacht.

Deckte dir der lange Schlummer,
Dir der Tod die Augen zu,
Dich besäße noch mein Kummer,
Meinem Herzen lebtest du.
Aber ach! du lebst im Licht,
Meiner Liebe lebst du nicht.

Jossain sumunharmaassa kaukaisuudessa

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Wolf Ferrari)

See original

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)

Jossain sumunharmaassa kaukaisuudessa
on minun kadotettu onneni,
enää eräässä ihanassa tähdessä
viivähtää rakkaudentäyttämä katseeni;
mutta niin kuin tähden loisto,
sekin on vain kuvajainen yössä.

Vaikka kuolema  painoikin
silmäsi kiinni pitkään uneen,
suruni omistaa sinut silti vielä,
sydämessäni sinä elät edelleen.
Mutta voi! Sinähän elät valossa,
etkä enää minun rakkaudessani.
