Wenn im letzten Abendstrahl
Goldne Wolkenberge steigen
Und wie Alpen sich erzeigen,
Frag' ich oft mit Tränen:
Liegt wohl zwischen jenen
Mein ersehntes Ruhetal?

Quand aux derniers rayons du soir
Des montagnes de nuages d'or s'élèvent
Et se révèlent comme des alpes,
En larmes, souvent je me demande :
« Est-ce bien entre eux que se trouve
La paisible vallée à laquelle j'aspire ? »
