Bahnlos und pfadlos, Felsen hinan | |||
stürmet der Mensch, ein Wandersmann. | |||
Stürzende Bäche, wogender Fluß, | |||
brausender Wald, nichts hemmet den Fuß! | |||
Dunkel im Kampfe über ihn hin, | |||
jagend im Heere die Wolken zieh'n; | |||
rollender Donner, strömender Guß, | |||
sternlose Nacht, nichts hemmet den Fuß! | |||
Endlich, ha! endlich schimmert's von fern! | |||
Ist es ein Irrlicht, ist es ein Stern? | |||
Ha! wie der Schimmer so freundlich blinkt, | |||
wie er mich locket, wie er mir winkt! | |||
Rascher durcheilet der Wandrer die Nacht, | |||
hinnach dem Lichte zieht's ihn mit Macht! | |||
Sprecht, wie: sind's Flammen, ist's Morgenrot, | |||
ist es die Liebe, ist es der Tod?}} | |||

'''Uncertain light''' | '''Uncertain light''' | ||
Without a path, without a trail, | |||
the man, the wanderer storms up the cliffs: | |||
Plunging streams, a roaring river, | |||
Booming woods, nothing breaks his stride! | |||
Warring in darkness above, | |||
Clouds pursue him in armies; | |||
Rolling thunder, streaming torrents, | |||
a starless night, nothing breaks his stride! | |||
At last, ha! At last it glitters in the distance! | |||
Is it a phantom, is it a star? | |||
Ha, its sparkle is so friendly, | |||
How it entices me, how it beckons to me! | |||
Faster now the wanderer hurries through the night, | |||
Drawn by the power of the light. | |||
Tell: is it a flame, is it the sunrise? | |||
Is it love, is it death?}} | |||
