When sound thought works its way through the world,
and love stands highest,
peace, freedom and reconciliation will spring up.

Why have you given me so much grief,
infinite God, who are goodness itself?
How I feared that there would open between us
a chasm without end or bounds.

Through suffering fate ennobles us. One thought, one call: Freedom!

It is not hard to die for a sacred cause,
yet I would gladly give so much more …
By the force of malice I will carry to the grave
an unspent treasure.
