In den Wipfeln frische Lüfte, Fern melod'scher Quellen Fall Durch die Einsamkeit der Klüfte, Waldeslaut und Vogelschall, Scheuer Träume Spielgenossen, Steigen all' beim Morgenschein Auf des Weinlaubs schwanken Sprossen Dir [in's]1 Fenster aus und ein. Und wir nah'n noch halb in Träumen Und wir thun in Klängen kund, Was da draußen in den Bäumen Singt der weite Frühlingsgrund. Regt der Tag erst laut die Schwingen: Sind wir Alle wieder weit -- Aber tief im Herzen klingen Lange nach noch Lust und Leid.
W. Killmayer sets lines 9-16

Dans les fraîches brises des cimes, La chute mélodique de lointaines sources, Dans la solitude des ravins, Les bruits de la forêt et le chant des oiseaux. Compagnons de jeu de rêves timides Dans les lueurs du matin, Nous montons et descendons tous à ta fenêtre Par les sarments vacillants de la treille. Et encore dans le rêve nous approchons Et rapportons avec nos sons, Ce que dehors dans les arbres Chante le lointain fond du printemps. À peine le jour a-t-il bruyamment bougé ses ailes, Nous sommes déjà tous au loin, Mais encore longtemps après résonnent Au fond du cœur joies et peines.
