Lisch aus, mein Licht! Was dir gebricht, Das ist nun fort, an diesem Ort Kannst du's nicht wieder finden! Du mußt nun los dich binden. Sonst hast du lustig aufgebrannt, Nun hat man dir die Luft entwandt; Wenn diese fort gewehet, die Flamme irregehet, Sucht, findet nicht; lisch aus, mein Licht!

Go out, my light, go out! What you are lacking Is now gone; In this place, You cannot again find it. You must now break your bonds! Once you burnt merrily, Now they have wrested your air away; When this is gone The flame shall die; It seeks, seeks, but finds it not; Go out, my light, go out!
