Doch uns ist gegeben,
Auf keiner Stätte zu ruh'n;
Es schwinden, es fallen
Die leidenden Menschen
Blindlings von einer
Stunde zu andern,
Wie Wasser von Klippe
Zu Klippe geworfen,
Jahrlang in's Ungewisse hinab.

Ma a noi non è dato,
Trovar pace in un luogo;
Dileguano, cadono
Soffrendo i mortali
Con cieco errare
Da un'ora all'altra,
Come acqua da rupe
A rupe gettata,
Per anni in abissi insondabili.
