English text
- Some showed me Life
- As 'twere a royal game,
- Shining in every colour of the sun,
- With prises to be played for, one by one,
- Love, riches, fame.
- Some showed me Life
- As 'twere a terrible fight,
- A ceasless striving 'gainst unnumbered foes,
- A battle ever harder to the close,
- Ending in night.
- Thou - Thou dids't make of Life a vision deep
- Of the deep happiness the spirit feels
- When heavenly music Heaven itself reveals
- And passions sleep,
- and passions sleep.
