[So willst]1 du des Armen Dich gnädig erbarmen? So ist es kein Traum? Wie rieseln die Quellen, Wie tönen die Wellen, Wie rauschet der Baum! Tief lag ich in bangen Gemäuern gefangen, Nun grüßt mich das Licht! Wie spielen die Strahlen! Sie blenden und malen Mein schüchtern Gesicht. Und soll ich es glauben? Wird keiner mir rauben Den köstlichen Wahn? Doch Träume entschweben, Nur lieben heißt leben; Willkommene Bahn! Wie frei und wie heiter! Nicht eile nun weiter, [Den]2 Pilgerstab fort! Du hast überwunden, Du hast ihn gefunden, Den seligsten Ort!

Jij hebt met de arme Dus werk'lijk erbarmen? Dus is het geen droom? Hoe kabb'len de bronnen, Hoe zingen de golven, Hoe sterk ruist de boom! Diep lag ik in bange Gewelven gevangen, Nu groet mij het licht! De stralen, zij spelen, Betoov'ren en strelen Mijn schuchter gezicht. En mag ik 't geloven? Zal niemand mij roven De heerlijke waan? Maar weg zweven dromen, Slechts liefde moet komen; Hoe trekt mij dat aan! Hoe vrij en hoe lustig! Kom, pelgrim, nu rustig, IJl verder niet voort! Je hebt overwonnen, Je vond toch de bronnen, Het zaligste oord.
