Süß sind mir die Schollen des Tales. So oft ich wandre zum Heim im Geleit des letzten Strahles erneu ich den tröstenden Reim. Süß sind mir des Tales Schollen, des Tals, das zur Heimat mir ward. Die bald auf mich niederrollen, drücken den Träumer nicht hart.

Que le sol de la vallée m'est doux. Si souvent je me promène vers la maison En compagnie des derniers rayons Je renouvelle les rimes consolantes. Que le sol de la vallée m'est doux. Les vallées qui sont devenues ma patrie, Qui bientôt m'enseveliront, Qu'elles ne pressent pas le rêveur durement.
