Und so verblaßte goldner Tag nach wonnigem Verweilen; und über allem Leben lag ein Hauch von Abwärts-Eilen in Grab und Tod. Bis voll unendlich süßer Macht sich Stern auf Stern entzündete und am Gewölb' der hohen Nacht den Zirkel weiter rundete zum Morgenrot.

Et ainsi s'estompa un jour doré après un délicieux séjour ; et sur toute vie s'étendit le souffle d'une chute urgente vers la tombe et la mort. Jusqu'à une puissance infiniment douce les étoiles l'une après l'autre s'allumèrent et sur la haute voûte de la nuit leur cercle s'arrondit encore jusqu'à l'aube.
