Werdet nur nicht ungeduldig, wenn von alten Leidensklängen manche noch vernehmlich tönen in den neuesten Gesängen. Wartet nur, es wird verhallen dieses Echo meiner Schmerzen, und ein neuer Liederfrühling sprießt aus dem geheilten Herzen.

Ne soyez pas impatients Quand les notes d'anciens chagrins Sonnent encore parfois distinctement Dans mes chansons les plus récentes. Mais attendez, ils vont expirer Ces échos de mes peines, Et un nouveau printemps de chansons Va jaillir de mon coeur cicatrisé.
