Our translations: FRE
Evig og uden Forandring Er kun det Tomme. Alt, hvad der var og der er Og hvad der skal komme, Vækkes, spirer og fødes, Skifter, ældes og dødes. Kloder have vandret Hvor Kloder nu vandre, En Gang i Tiderne Kommer der andre. Hvad der er Livets maa gaa og komme, Evig er ene Rummet det tomme.

Ewig und ohne Veränderung ist nur das Leere. Alles, was war und was ist, was jemals noch wäre, Keimt und sprosset und nährt sich, Wechselt, altert, verzehrt sich. Wandernd flogen Welten, wo Welten nun wandern, Einst auf die Einen doch folgen die Andern. Was auch im Leben entschwind' und wäh're, Ewig allein ist der Raum nur, der leere.
