Die ihr aus dunklen Grüften
Den eitlen Mammon grabt,
Seht, was ihr hier in Lüften
Für reiche Schätze habt.
Sprecht nicht, es ist nur Farb' und Schein,
Man zählt und schließt es nicht im Kasten ein.

You who from dark tombs
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You who from dark tombs
dig up vain mammon,
see what you here in the air
have for treasures.
Speak not, it is only color and light,
one does not count it or shut it in chests.
