Здесь хорошо... Взгляни, вдали Огнём горит река; Цветным ковром луга легли, Белеют облака. Здесь нет людей... Здесь тишина... Здесь только Бог да я. Цветы, да старая сосна, Да ты, мечта моя!

Hier ist es schön … Schau wie weither der Fluss wie Feuer flammt; wie bunte Matten liegt die Flur, und das Gewölk ist weiß. Kein Mensch ist hier … hier ist die Ruh’ … hier sind nur Gott und ich, die alte Zirbel, reich umblüht, und du, mein süßer Traum!
