Ganz still ist's, -- nur ein Rauschen schwillt durch die Bäume sacht, als ob sie flüsternd lauschen dem Schlummerhauch der Nacht. Und in dem großen Schweigen -- da bin ich ganz allein, da bin ich ganz mein eigen: ganz nur Dein.

Tout est silence, juste un bruissement enfle peu à peu dans les arbres, comme s'ils écoutaient en chuchotant le souffle ensommeillé de la nuit. Et dans le grand silence, Je suis là tout seul, Je suis là complètement moi-même : Complètement à toi seule.
