Cidli, du weinest, und ich schlummre sicher,
Wo im Sande der Weg verzogen fortschleicht;
Auch wenn stille Nacht ihn umschattend decket,
Schlummr' ich ihn sicher.
Wo er sich endet, wo ein Strom das Meer wird,
Gleit' ich über den Strom, der sanfter aufschwillt;
Denn, der mich begleitet, der Gott gebots ihm!
Weine nicht, Cidli.

La peur de l'être aimé
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Cidli, tu pleures, et je dors paisiblement,
Là où dans le sable le chemin serpente ;
Même quand la nuit silencieuse recouvre ce chemin d'ombre
Je dors paisiblement.
Là où il se termine,, là où la rivière devient mer,
Je glisserai sur la rivière qui coule doucement ;
Car celui qui m'accompagne, Dieu, l'a ordonné.
Ne pleure pas, Cidli !
