  Und morgen wird die Sonne wieder scheinen,
Und auf dem Wege, den ich gehen werde,
  Wird uns, die Glücklichen, sie wieder einen
Inmitten dieser [sonne-athmenden]1 Erde . . .

  Und zu dem Strand, dem weiten, wogenblauen,
Werden wir still und langsam niedersteigen,
  Stumm werden wir uns in die Augen schauen,
Und auf uns sinkt des Glückes stummes Schweigen . . .

Morgen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
En morgen zal voor ons de zon weer schijnen
En op de weg waar ik weer langs zal lopen
Brengt zij ons, de gelukkigen, weer samen
Op deze zonneademende aarde.

En naar het strand, het verre, golvenblauwe,
Gaan wij dan stil en langzaam naar beneden,
Stil zullen wij in elkaars ogen kijken,
en voelen van geluk het woordloos zwijgen.
