O wie schön ist [deine]1 Welt, Vater, wenn sie golden strahlet! Wenn dein Glanz herniederfällt, Und den Staub mit Schimmer malet; Wenn das Roth, das in der Wolke blinkt, In mein stilles Fenster sinkt! Könnt' ich klagen, könnt' ich zagen? Irre seyn an dir und mir? Nein, ich will im Busen tragen Deinen Himmel schon [dahier]2. Und dies Herz, eh' es zusammenbricht, Trinkt noch Gluth und schlürft noch Licht.

O, hoe mooi is uw planeet, Vader, in die gouden stralen! Als uw glans daalt als een kleed, Over 't stof nog licht laat dwalen. Als het rood, dat in de wolken blinkt, In mijn stille venster zinkt! Mag ik klagen of versagen? Twijfelen aan u en mij? Neen, ik wil in 't harte dragen Reeds uw hemel, heel nabij. En dit hart - voordat het breekt en zwicht -, Drinkt nog gloed en slurpt nog licht.
