Durch Einsamkeiten
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Durch Einsamkeiten,
Durch waldwild Geheg,
Über nebelnde Weiten
Wandert mein Weg.
Fern über dem Berge
An ruhsamer Flut
Harrt meiner ein Ferge,
Der rudert mich gut.
An ein stilles Geländ',
Ewig gemieden
Und ewig ersehnt:
Zum Frieden...

Through solitudes
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Through solitudes,
Through enclosures of wild forests,
Over fog-shrouded expanses
My path takes me.
Far over the mountain
At peaceful waters
A ferryman awaits me,
He shall row me well.
To a silent country,
Eternally avoided
And eternally desired -- --
To peace . . .
