Und immer Du, dies dunkle Du, und durch die Nacht dies hohle Sausen; die Telegraphendrähte brausen, ich schreite meiner Heimat zu. Und Schritt für Schritt dies dunkle Du, es scheint von Pol zu Pol zu sausen; und tausend Worte hör ich brausen und schreite stumm der Heimat zu.

Et toujours Toi, ce sombre Toi, et durant la nuit ce bruissement creux ; les fils du télégraphe grondent, je marche vers mon pays. Et pas après pas, ce sombre Toi semble bruire de poteau en poteau ; et j'entends gronder mille mots et muet, je marche vers mon pays.
