Nach all dem Menschenlärm und -dust in dir, geliebtes Herz, zu ruhn, so meine Brust an deiner Brust, du meine Heimat nun! Stillherrlich glänzt das Firmament in unsrer Augen dunklen Seen, des Lebens reine Flamme kennt kein Werden und Vergehn.

After all the human noise and dust, To rest in you, beloved heart, So that my breast is against your breast, You are now my homeland! Glorious and silent gleam the heavens In the dark pools of our eyes; The pure flame of Life knows Neither change nor decay.
