Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst:
Derweil du frei und fröhlich scheinst,
Ist Lenz und Sonnenschein verflogen,
Die liebe Gegend schwarz umzogen;
Und kaum hast du dich ausgeweint,
Lacht alles wieder, die Sonne scheint --
Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst.

Meditazione 1 dalle "Meditazioni del viandante"
 (Sung text translation for setting by O. Schoeck)
 See original
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tutto è diverso da quello che pensi:
mentre tu appari felice e rubicondo,
svaniscono la primavera e la luce del sole,
e la bella contrada è invasa dal buio; 
e mentre hai appena finito di piangere,
tutto torna a sorridere, il sole brilla --
Tutto è diverso da quello che si pensa
