Mein wundes Herz verlangt nach milder Ruh', O hauche sie ihm ein! Es fliegt dir weinend, bange schlagend zu -- O hülle du es ein! Wie wenn ein Strahl durch schwere Wolken bricht, So winkest du ihm zu: O lächle fort mit deinem milden Licht! Mein Pol, mein Stern bist du!

Mon cœur blessé réclame un doux repos, Oh, souffle-le en lui ! Il vole vers toi, pleurant et tremblant de crainte Oh, prends-le dans tes bras ! Comme quand un rayon de soleil perce les nuages lourds, Ainsi tu lui fais signe : Oh, continue de sourire de ta douce lumière ! Tu es mon pôle, mon étoile !
