Alte Gruben schaufle um, Tiefer werden sie und breiter; Altes Leid wird nimmer stumm, Denn im neuen schluchzt es weiter. Alter Wein, der [unversehrt]1, Kocht in seines Saftes Gluten; Alte Sehnsucht schwillt und nährt Sich [vom]2 eigenen Verbluten.

Remoc velles fosses, esdevenen més profundes i més amples; les velles penes no emmudeixen mai, perquè en les noves, segueixen sanglotejant. El vi vell que, intacte, fermenta en el caliu del seu suc; el vell anhel s’entumeix i s’alimenta del seu propi dessagnament.
