Wir sind durch Not und Freude Gegangen Hand in Hand, Vom Wandern [ruhn wir beide]1 Nun überm stillen Land. Rings sich die Thäler neigen, Es dunkelt schon die Luft, Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen Nachträumend in den Duft. Tritt her, und laß sie schwirren, Bald ist es [Schlafenszeit]2, Daß wir uns nicht verirren In dieser Einsamkeit. O weiter stiller Friede! So tief im Abendrot, Wie sind wir wandermüde -- Ist [das]3 etwa der Tod?

Attraverso affanni e gioie abbiamo camminato mano nella mano; da questo viaggio riposiamo ora sulla silente terra. Le valli discendono attorno noi, già l'aria si abbruna; solo due allodole ancora salgono, e sognano nell'aria profumata. Avvicinati e lasciale frullare; è tempo di dormire; non perdiamoci in questa solitudine! O vasta e silenziosa pace! Così profonda al tramonto! Come siamo stanchi di vagare - sarà forse questa la morte?
