Im Regen,im spritzendem Regen, Empor zu dir, zu dir! Wärmender Liebe Segen Wunderbar leuchtet mir. Triefende Zweige schlagen Sträubend mir ins Gesicht, Seelig emporgetragen Spür ich es nicht. Schleudert stürzende Güsse, Wolken und Winde, umher! Liebchens köstliche Küsse Winken mir wonnenschwer. Stampfend unter mich alle Nebel und Nesseln der Welt, Seh' ich die himmlische Halle Herrlich erhellt!

Dans la pluie, dans la pluie qui éclabousse, En haut vers toi, vers toi ! Une bénédiction d'amour qui réchauffe M'éclaire merveilleusement. Des branches ruisselantes me frappent En se dressant sur mon visage. Emporté vers le haut par l'émotion Je ne les sens pas. La pluie qui s'abat fulmine, Les nuages et les vents, tout autour ! Des baisers délicieux du bien-aimé Me font signe pleins de bonheur. Trépignant tout sous moi, Le brouillard et les orties du monde, Je vois le palais céleste Merveilleusement illuminé !
