Sippan

Sippa, vårens första blomma,
Om jag bröt dig, om jag gaf dig
Åt den älskade, den kalla!
Bröt jag dig, jag skulle ge dig,
Gaf jag dig, jag skulle säga:
"Nära drifvans kant, o flicka,
Växte vårens första blomma,
Som vid isen af ditt hjerta
Blommar upp min trogna kärlek,
Bäfvande för vinterkylan,
Men ej qväfd af den, ej skördad."

Die Anemone

Anemone, Frühlings erste Blume,
pflück ich dich, zu geben dich
der Geliebten, die so kühl!
Pflückt’ ich dich, würd ich dich geben,
gäb ich dich, dann würd ich sagen:
„Nahe am verwehten Schnee, ach Mädchen,
wächst des Frühlings erste Blume,
wie am Eise deines Herzens
meine Liebe treu erblüht,
zitternd in des Winters Kälte,
jedoch nicht erstickt im Keime, noch geknickt.
