Nun merk' ich erst, wie müd' ich bin, Da ich zur Ruh' mich lege; Das Wandern hielt mich munter hin Auf unwirthbarem Wege. Die Füße frugen nicht nach Rast, Es war zu kalt zum Stehen, Der Rücken fühlte keine Last, Der Sturm half fort mich wehen. In eines Köhlers engem Haus Hab' Obdach ich gefunden; Doch meine Glieder ruhn nicht aus: So brennen ihre Wunden. Auch du, mein Herz, [im]1 Kampf und Sturm So wild und so verwegen, Fühlst in der Still' erst deinen Wurm Mit heißem Stich sich regen!

Nou voel ek eers, waar ek hier lê, ek is heel afgemat; die voetslaan het my flink gehou op dié klipharde pad. My voete het nie rus gevra nie, dit was te koud vir staan; my rug het geen gewig gevoel nie, en stormwind dryf my aan. ’n Kaal skerm in die bos bied my nou skuiling teen die weer; my lyf kan egter kwalik rus, my wonde is te seer. Ook jy, my hart, sterk in die storm, stoutmoedig in die stryd, voel nou eers in die stilte hoe jou adder seer kan byt.
