Translation by Johann Gottfried Herder (1744 - 1803)

Verschwunden ist sie meinem Blick
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
"Verschwunden ist sie meinem Blick; 
Werd' ich sie wiedersehn?" 
"Verschwunden ist sie Dir zum Glück; 
Du wirst sie wiedersehn!" 
"Freuden und Leiden, wie wechselt ihr so?" 
"Es wechseln die Freuden, 
Zu mildern die Leiden; 
Sei froh!  sei froh!"    

"Oft werd' ich wenden meinen Blick: 
Warum ist sie nicht hier?" 
"Dann rufet Dir der Hain zurück: 
'Sie kehret neu zu Dir.' " 
"Freuden und Leiden, wie wechselt ihr so?" 
"Es wechseln die Leiden, 
Zu schöneren Freuden; 
Sei froh!  sei froh!"
