Wie willst du dich mir offenbaren, Wie ungewohnt, geliebtes Tal? Nur in den frühsten Jugendjahren Erschienst du so mir manches Mal. Die Sonne schon hinabgegangen, Doch aus den Bächen klarer Schein; Kein Lüftchen spielt mir um die Wangen, Doch sanftes Rauschen in dem Hain. Es duftet wieder alte Liebe, Es grünet wieder alte Lust; Ja, selbst die alten Liedertriebe Beleben diese kalte Brust. Natur, wohl braucht es solcher Stunden, So [innig und so]1 liebevoll, Wenn dieses arme Herz gesunden, Das welkende genesen soll. Bedrängt mich einst die Welt noch bänger, So such' ich wieder dich, mein Tal, Empfange dann den kranken Sänger Mit solcher Milde noch einmal. Und sink' ich dann ermattet nieder, So öffne leise deinen Grund Und nimm mich auf und schließ' ihn wieder Und grüne fröhlich und gesund.

Com se’m vols manifestar de forma tan insòlita, estimada vall? Tan sols en els anys de la primera jovenesa, se m’has presentat així algunes vegades. El sol ja ha anat a la posta però dels rierols surt encara una clara resplendor; cap ventijol acarona les meves galtes però se sent una lleugera remor en el boscatge. Torna a flairejar de vells amors, antics anhels verdegen de nou; sí, fins i tot els antics rampells lírics revifen aquest cor tan frígid. Natura, bé calen hores com aquestes, tan íntimes, tan plenes d’amor, per guarir aquest pobre cor i refer-lo del seu marciment. Si un dia el món m’assetja encara amb més angoixes et cercaré de nou, oh vall meva, acull llavors aquest poeta malalt encara una vegada amb aital dolcesa. I si mai extenuat sucumbeixo, obre la teva terra sense fer soroll, aixopluga’m, tornar a tancar, i reverdeix joiosa i plena de salut.
