Vier Gesänge (Op. 2)
Schlafend trägt man mich [Der Glühende]
Schlafend trägt man mich
in mein Heimatland.
Ferne komm' ich her,
über Gipfel, über Schlünde,
über ein dunkles Meer
in mein Heimatland.
I am borne in sleep
I am borne in sleep
to my homeland.
I come from afar,
over peaks, over gorges,
over a dark sea
to my homeland.
