Meine Jugend war ein Gartenland, Silberbrunnen sprangen in den Matten, Alter Bäume märchenblaue Schatten Kühlten meiner frechen Träume Brand. Dürstend geh ich nun auf heißen Wegen Und verschlossen liegt mein Jugendland, Rosen nicken übern Mauerrand Spöttisch meiner Wanderschaft entgegen. Und indes mir fern und ferner singt Meines kühlen Garten Wipfelrauschen, Muß ich inniger und tiefer lauschen, Wie es schöner noch als damals klingt.

Ma jeunesse fut un pays de jardins, Des sources argentées jaillissaient des pâturages, La féerique ombre bleue des vieux arbres Rafraîchissait le feu de mes rêves impertinents. Je vais maintenant, assoiffé, sur des chemins brûlants, Et le pays de ma jeunesse est inaccessible. Par dessus le mur des roses saluent Moqueusement ma pérégrination. Et tandis que chante de plus en plus lointain Le bruissement des cimes de mon frais jardin, Je ressens de plus en plus profondément Combien il est encore plus beau qu'autrefois.
