Die grossmütige Gelassenheit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT FRE ITA
Ich hab' es längst gesagt:
So sehr mich alles plagt,
So wenig fällt mein Mut vor Kummer hin;
Die Hoffnung ist mein Schild,
Und wenn die Mißgunst billt,
So such ich Trost bei mir,
Und bleibe, wie ich bin.

La résignation noble
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Je le dis depuis longtemps :
Bien qu'il s'afflige de tout,
Mon courage ne faiblit pas devant les chagrins ;
L'espoir est mon bouclier,
Et si l'envie fait défaut,
Alors je cherche le réconfort en moi
Et je reste comme je suis.
