Noch in meines Lebens Lenze War ich und ich wandert' aus, Und der Jugend frohe Tänze Ließ ich des Vaters Haus. ... Denn mich trieb ein mächtig Hoffen Und ein dunkles Glaubenswort, Wandle, riefs, der Weg ist offen, Immer nach dem Aufgang fort. ... Abend wards und wurde Morgen, Nimmer, nimmer stand ich still, Aber immer bliebs verborgen, Was ich suche, was ich will. ... Hin zu einem großen Meere Trieb mich seiner Wellen Spiel, Vor mir liegts in weiter Leere, Näher bin ich nicht dem Ziel. Ach kein Steg will dahin führen, Ach der Himmel über mir Will die Erde nie berühren, Und das dort ist niemals hier.

Tot just era a la primavera de la vida quan vaig marxar de viatge, i el joiós dansar de la jovenesa el vaig deixar a casa del pare. ... Car un poderós afany m’empenyia i vagues paraules de fe, “Camina” em deien, “El camí és obert, sempre pujant més amunt.” ... Després dels capvespres vingueren matins, i jo mai m’aturava, ocultant sempre però, allò que cercava, allò que volia. ... Vers un mar immens em portaren les ones juganeres; davant meu el vast espai buit, i no m’apropava al meu objectiu. Ai, cap passera allà em portarà, ai, el cel al meu damunt no tocarà mai la terra i el més enllà no serà mai aquí!
