Der Haidebusch voll Knospen stand

Der Haidebusch voll Knospen stand. 
Kam früh ein junges Ding heraus
Und brach mit unverständ'ger Hand
Sie spielend alle sich zum Strauß. 

Und schaut' ihn an mit Augen licht
Und ging.  Er sah ihr lange nach 
Mit sanftem Rauschen, zürnte nicht
Dem Kind, das seinen Frühling brach.
