There is but one solace now: I no longer fear death.
What more could happen! At worst I'll rest in unbroken sleep...
So be it, if it comes to that! Let no one else know— but God knows how tired I am today!
That joy I have never known before— by fortune's grace I might yet glimpse it!
Come what may! If I can stay with you, I'll at least find my way home— if nothing else!
