Wolkenflug und herber Wind Kühlt mich, der ich krank gewesen. Träumend wie ein stilles Kind Ruh ich aus und bin genesen. Nur ein Klang in tiefer Brust Ist von meinem armen Lieben, Dämpfend alle laute Lust, Leis und trauernd überblieben. Diesem namenlosen Klang, Während Wind und Tannen rauschen, Kann ich Stunden, Tage lang Schweigend hingegeben lauschen.

Scudding clouds and bitter wind Cool me, who has been ill. Dreamily, like a quiet child, I rest and have recovered. Only one sound deep in my breast Remains [as an echo] of my poor loving, Muting all loud joy Quietly and with mourning. To this nameless sound, While wind and pines are soughing, I can listen for hours, days, With silent surrendering.
