Es kam ein Sturm bei Nacht Und blies die Flamme meiner Liebe aus. Zur trüben Totenwacht Sitz' ich allein im dunklen, kalten Haus. Wie herrlich sie gelobt! Entzündet hatte sie des Himmels Blitz. Aufschlug sie goldigrot Und reckte sich zu der Gestirne Sitz. Ein Sturmwind kam bei Nacht Und blies und löschte mir den edlen Schein. Ich halte Totenwacht: Bald werde ich auch ruhn und Asche sein.

Il est venu une tempête dans la nuit, Qui a soufflé la flamme de mon amour. Dans une trouble veille mortuaire, Je suis assise seule dans une maison sombre et froide. Qu'elle soit magnifiquement célébrée ! Elle avait allumé le feu du ciel, Elle avait fait flamboyer le rouge et l'or Et se dressait jusqu'au siège des astres. Il est venu une tempête dans la nuit, Qui a soufflé et éteint ma précieuse lumière. J'accomplis une veille mortuaire : Bientôt je reposerai aussi, et serai cendres.
