German original

O Mensch! Gib acht!

Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?

»Ich schlief, ich schlief—,

Aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht:—

Die Welt ist tief,

Und tiefer als der Tag gedacht.

Tief ist ihr Weh—,

Lust—tiefer noch als Herzeleid:

Weh spricht: Vergeh!

Doch alle Lust will Ewigkeit—,

—will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!«

Selected English translations

There are a number of different English translations.

Alexander Tille:

O man! Lose not sight!

What saith the deep midnight?

"I lay in sleep, in sleep;

From deep dream I come to light.

The world is deep,

And deeper than ever day thought it might.

Deep is its woe—

And deeper still than woe—delight.

Saith woe: 'Pass, go!

Eternity's sought by all delight—,

Eternity deep—by all delight!'"

Thomas Common:

O man! Take heed!

What saith deep midnight's voice indeed?

"I slept my sleep—

"From deepest dream I've woke and plead:—

"The world is deep,

"And deeper than the day could read.

"Deep is its woe—

"Joy—deeper still than grief can be:

"Woe saith: Hence! Go!

"But joys all want eternity—

"Want deep profound eternity!"
