Es ist die Zeit zu feiern!
Es kommt die große Ruh!
Dort lenkt ein Zug von Reihern
Dem ew'gen Lenze zu.
Sie wissen Pfad und Stege,
Sie kennen ihre Wege --
Was, meine Seele, fürchtest du?

It is time to rejoice!
A great peace draws near!
A flock of herons there turns
toward eternal Spring.
They know paths and bridges,
they know their way -
what, my soul, do you fear?
