Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB ACAC ADAD DDDD ABAB| Sosehr sein Ende mich bewegt | A |
| Ich durft' es anders nicht vermelden | B |
| Er stirbt denn tragisch angelegt | A |
| War der Charakter dieses Helden | B |
| - | |
| His ending moves me only mind | A |
| A diff'rent one I can't envision | B |
| He dies for tragically designed | A |
| Was our hero's disposition | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| Gar manches ist vorherbestimmt | A |
| Das Schicksal f hrt ihn in Bedr ngnis | C |
| Doch wie er sich dabei benimmt | A |
| Ist seine Schuld und nicht Verh ngnis | C |
| - | |
| There is a predetermined fate | A |
| And fortune seems to be essential | D |
| But how to act how to relate | A |
| that is his fault not providential | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Drum bleibt's dabei Denn die Moral | D |
| Ist hier kein leeres Wortgeklingel | D |
| Und lebte er auch noch einmal | D |
| Er bliebe doch der alte Schlingel | D |
| - | |
| The moral thus remains unchanged | A |
| And is no empty declaration | B |
| For if once more this world he ranged | A |
| He'd be the same old aggravation | B |
