Nicht ein Lüftchen Regt sich leise, Sanft entschlummert Ruht der Hain; Durch der Blätter Dunkle Hülle Stiehlt sich lichter Sonnenschein. Ruhe, ruhe, Meine Seele, Deine Stürme Gingen wild, Hast getobt und Hast gezittert, Wie die Brandung, Wenn sie schwillt. Diese Zeiten Sind gewaltig, Bringen Herz Und Hirn in Not -- Ruhe, ruhe, Meine Seele, Und vergiß, Was dich bedroht!

Ni tan siquiera una suave brisa se agita, dulcemente dormido reposa el bosquecillo; a través de la oscura cubierta de las hojas entra a hurtadillas el luminoso brillo del sol. ¡Apacíguate, apacíguate, alma mía, tus tormentas se han hecho más salvajes, te has enfurecido y te has estremecido, como cuando rompe el oleaje! Estos tiempos han traído con fuerza miseria a cerebro y corazón. ¡Apacíguate, apacíguate, alma mía, y olvida lo que te amenaza!
