In die dunkle Bergsschlucht
kehrt der Mond zurück.
Eine Stimme singt am Wassersturz:
O Geliebtes, deine höchste Wonne
und dein tiefster Schmerz
Sind mein Glück.

Dans le sombre abîme de la montagne
la lune est revenue.
Une voix chante près de la chute d'eau :
Ô bien-aimée, ton plus grand plaisir
et ta douleur la plus aiguë
Sont mon bonheur.
