Fragment av Schillers Thekla (Ett svar ur andevärlden)
Language: Swedish (Svenska)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Hvar jag är du frågar, flygtig vorden,
då jag från min faders borgar drog?
Har jag då ej slutat allt på jorden:
har ej den som älskat, lefvat nog?

Frågar du hvart Näktergalen flydde:
hvilken sång ur vårens lund dig hann?
blott de dagar, då han kärlek lydde,
blott så länge, tro mig, lefde han.
