Our share of night to bear
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER
Our share of night to bear,
Our share of morning,
Our blank in bliss to fill,
Our blank in scorning.
Here a star, and there a star,
Some lose their way.
Here a mist, and there a mist,
Afterwards - day!

Mit an der Nacht zu tragen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Mit an der Nacht zu tragen,
und mit am Morgen.
Was uns fehlt an Glück
und Spott, besorgen.
Hier ein Stern und ein Stern dort,
mancher verirrt sich.
Hier ein Nebel, einer dort,
dann regt der Tag sich!
