Leb wohl, leb wohl! auf Wiedersehn!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Leb wohl, leb wohl! auf Wiedersehn! Der Regen fällt, die Stürme wehn, Die Thräne sinkt, der Gram erwacht, Mein ganzes Glück versinkt in Nacht - O Gott, wie kannst du von mir gehn! Verlaß mich nicht! - vergiß mich nicht! Du bist mein Tag, du bist mein Licht, Du meine Zukunft und mein Kranz, Du bist mein Herz, mein Leben ganz, Du bist mein herrlichstes Gedicht. Was soll ich noch auf Erden hier? Was soll ich noch, getrennt von dir? O höre, höre das Gebet, Das meine tiefste Seele fleht: Verlaß mich nicht und [bleibe hier]1!

Chère âme adieu !
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Chère âme, adieu ! jusqu'au revoir, il pleut, le ciel partout est noir, mon œil se mouille et la douleur a pris déjà tout mon bonheur. O Dieu, tu pars et plus d'espoir ! Reste avec moi, reste avec moi, toi ma lumière et toi, ma foi, mon avenir et mon soutieu, mon cœur, ma vie et mon seul bien ; ma poésie est tout en toi ! Sans toi que vais-je devenir ? Sans toi je n'ai plus d'avenir ; amie écoute, écoute ici ce cœur qui pleure et prie aussi : Reste avec moi, pourquoi me fuir ?
