Es wehet kühl und leise Die Luft durch dunkle Auen, Und nur der Himmel lächelt Aus tausend hellen Augen. Es regt nur Eine Seele Sich in [der Meere]1 Brausen, Und in den leisen Worten, Die durch die Blätter rauschen. So tönt in Welle Welle, Wo Geister heimlich trauren; So folgen Worte Worten, Wo Geister Leben hauchen. Durch alle Töne tönet Im bunten Erdentraume [Ein]2 leiser Ton gezogen, Für den, der heimlich lauschet.

Fresc i suau bufa l’aire a través de les prades ombrívoles i només el cel somriu de milers d’ulls brillants. Només es belluga una ànima en el bramul del mar i en les paraules a veu baixa que xiuxiuegen a través de les fulles. Així ressona l’onada amb l’onada, on els esperits secretament es lamenten; així les paraules segueixen les paraules, on els esperits alenen la vida. A través de tot el brogit ressona, en el virolat somni de la terra, un feble so, adreçat a aquell que secretament escolta.
