    Who never ate his bread in sorrow,
    Who never spent the darksome hours
    Weeping, and watching for the morrow,--
    He knows ye not, ye gloomy Powers.
    [Ger., Wer nie sein Brod mit Thranen ass,
    Wer nicht die kummervollen Nachte
    Auf seinem Bette weinend sass,
    Der kennt euch nicht, ihr himmlischen Machte.]
