«Die Primeln blühn und grüßen so lieblich mir zu Füßen, die Amsel singt so laut. Die Sonne scheint so helle -- nur ich weiß eine Stelle, dahin kein Himmel blaut.» -- Feins Kind, mußt nicht so sagen! Es bringt der Himmelswagen auch deiner Brust den Tag. Es wird auch Deine Seele der lieben Vogelkehle gleichtun mit lautem Schlag. «Die Primeln blühn und grüßen so lieblich mir zu Füßen, die Amsel singt so laut. die Sonne scheint so helle --. Mein freundlicher Geselle, mir ward viel Leid vertraut.»

« Les prímules floreixen i em saluden tan gentilment als peus, la merla canta tan fort. El sol brilla tan lluminós - - només jo conec un lloc on cap cel hi blaveja.» - - Xamós infant, això no ho has de dir! L'Óssa Major porta el dia també al teu cor. La teva ànima fins i tot igualarà l'estimada gorja de l'ocell amb sorollós refilet. « Les prímules floreixen i em saluden tan gentilment als peus, la merla canta tan fort. El sol brilla tan lluminós - - Estimat company meu, molt sofriment m'ha estat confiat.»
