Aus dunkler Nacht ein Brunnenlied Klang hell am Weg. Die Häuser standen weiß und stumm Im Baumgeheg. Die Linden wehten Duft ins Land, Ich lehnte sacht am Brunnenrand Und ließ durch dunkles Sinnen Das blinkende Liedlein rinnen. Und als ich wandte meinen Schritt, Da ging's durch Nacht und Schweigen mit Und war auf meinen Wegen Wie Segen.

De la nit fosca, una cançó de la font ressonava clara en el camí. Les cases, blanques i silencioses, estaven en el tancat d’arbres. Els til·lers escampaven perfum per els camps, poc a poc, em vaig recolzar a la vora de la font i vaig deixar que la cançoneta lluminosa corregués per els obscurs sentits. I quan vaig capgirar el meu pas, em seguia per la nit i el silenci i era, en el meu camí, com una benedicció.
