translation:
Yearn, O man,
long for thy fondest hope and memory,
For thy childhood days,
the times when thou wast lovingly cared for,
For thy father and mother,
thy brothers and sisters in a far-off land,
For the maiden of thy dreams,
who passed like the twilight.)
Dost thou remember the time
when thy morning rose golden,
The magic of thy love,
the joys that are now long gone,
The walks picking berries,
the splash of soft waters on the bay,
And herding the cattle,
listening to the summer night alone and with her?)
Dost thou ever long to be beyond time,
beyond place and death,
Sitting in the evening,
feeling thyself slowly returning to the soil,
As everything beautiful disappears,
thy noble purpose
Slowly evaporates,
however high thou still dost aspire?)
Dost thou weep, O man,
for the lost beauty of knowledge and feeling,
The finest feelings of thy heart,
thy greatest ambitions and strength?
Canst thou hear the sands
measuring thy time running out?
Canst thou see the hoary sword
poised to cut down the flower of thy days?)
Yearn, O man,
beyond time, beyond place and death!
On this shore of sorrow see thy sacred star beyond
the night and waters!
A golden string forever resounds in the human soul,
and the yearning lives,
Though those content with what they had moulder
in the ground.)
