Thou ask'st a dungeon, and thou sigh'st for rest?
O There are many longing for repose,
And then there is a grave for thee and those,
But - when it pleases Him, who knows the best!
Do not commit so black a suicide;
Nor do despise mankind! Continual strife
Must be the only scope of human life -
And thou, thou fliest thy cowardice to hide!
