Abschied [English translation]

In his spirit I confide

A yearning consumes his beautiful face,

so weary, shadowed by goodness, and almighty

His body does not move

In dreams his force gets carried away at last

In the wailing rejoicings I recognize you,

the ones that shatter my holy peace;

his silenced mouth his sleeping bosom

softly awaiting the sweet passion

His body does not move

In dreams his force gets carried away at last
