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.

Finale
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Un vol de nuages et un vent aigre
Me refroidissent, moi qui fus malade.
Rêvant comme un enfant calme
Je me repose et suis guéri.
Juste une voix au fond de ma poitrine
Reste de mon pauvre amour,
Étouffant l'expression de toute joie,
Légère et pleurante.
Cette voix sans nom,
Quand il vente et que bruissent les sapins ,
Je peux, pendant des heures, des jours,
M'adonner en silence à son écoute.
