Seinen Traum Lind' wob, Frühling kaum, Wind schnob, Seht, wie ist der [Blütentraum]1 verweht! Wie der Hauch Kalt weht, Wie der Strauch Alt steht, Der so jung gewesen ist vorher! Ohne Lust Schlägt Herz, Und die Brust Trägt Schmerz; O wie hob sie sonst sich frei und froh! Als ich dir Lieb war, O wie mir Trieb klar Vor dem Blick ein Freudenlenz empor! Als ich dich Gehn sah, Einsam mich Stehn sah; O, wie trug' ichs, daß mein Leben floh! Wo ist dein Kranz, Mai? Wohnt dir kein Glanz bei, Wann der Liebe, Sonnenschein zerrann? Nachtigall, Schwing dich, Laut mit Schall Bring mich [Ab, hinab, zur Ros' hinab ins Grab!]2

Lente vlocht Droombloei Net gewrocht, Wind woei, Zie, hoe is de bloesemdroom verwaaid! Hoe de wind Koud gaat, Hoe de struik Oud staat, Die zo jong geweest toch is voorheen! Zonder vreugd Slaat 't hart, En de borst Draagt smart; O, hoe zwol die vroeger vrij en blij! Toen jij van Mij hield, O, toen bracht Jij mild Voor mijn oog een lentefeest teweeg! Toen ik jou Gaan zag, Eenzaam mij Staan zag, Hoe verdroeg ik 't dat mijn leven vlood! Waar is je Krans, mei? Blijft jou geen Glans bij, Nu de liefdeszonneschijn vervloog? Nachtegaal, Vlieg vrij, Luid met zang Wieg mij Weg, omlaag, [naar de1 roos omlaag, in 't graf!]2
1 Naar de (bij Schumann): te zingen op twee zestienden
2 Deze regel luidt bij Schumann de eerste keer: Weg, omlaag, naar de roos in 't graf! De tweede keer: Weg, omlaag, naar de roos omlaag, in 't graf!
