1. Neither my soul grows dark, nor do I vanish
With you I secured a second youth

2. Today I mock decrepitude, so let it pelt me
As it wishes - today I'm no more a coward

3. I parted from our world and shunned its worries
And entered the alluring world of your beauty

4. So I forgot the flourishing life and its length
And knew that eternity lasts but moments
