Blessed is he who is in the lap of joys
To the bed
The glory of the darkness shines out
Born at Dom Remi in the low shepherd class

To a city dweller
There rises from the bluish peaks like purple
If from the church tower in Halle (version 1)

Cherished with quiet joy
Stand like that, oh good boy

Sleep was already sinking down from its heaven

But you may at least forget your childhood friend
Oh by the beautiful divine thought
Where did she fled, the beautiful dawn?

Greetings to you hallways that I saw first

At the early grave of our brother Gustav
