English text

If life were fair around thee,
Fair as the heart had willed,
Without a grief to wound thee,
Or bright hope unfulfilled,
Mortal, for death preparing,
Could'st thou to death submit?

Thou would'st refuse, despairing,
A world so dear to quit
But, one by one, thou knowest,
Life's gentle bonds are riven,
So, cheered at heart, thou goest
Through earth’s deep grave to heaven!

The chains of fear are broken,
Hope's star is bright aloft!
Oft has this truth been spoken,
But never once too oft.
