Cidli, du weinest, und ich schlummre sicher, Wo im Sande der Weg verzogen fortschleicht; Auch wenn stille Nacht ihn umschattend decket, Schlummr' ich ihn sicher. Wo er sich endet, wo ein Strom das Meer wird, Gleit' ich über den Strom, der sanfter aufschwillt; Denn, der mich begleitet, der Gott gebots ihm! Weine nicht, Cidli.

Cidli, jij schreit zacht en ik sluimer veilig, Waar in zanden de weg al kronk'lend wegsluipt; Ook als stille nacht hem met schaduw afdekt, Sluim'r ik toch veilig. Waar de weg ophoudt, waar een stroom tot zee wordt, Glijd ik over de stroom, die zachter opzwelt; Want die mij als gids dient, de god gebood 't hem. Ween maar niet, Cidli!
