Da droben auf dem Hügel, Da steht ein kleines Haus; Man sieht von seiner Schwelle Ins schöne Land hinaus. Dort sitzt ein freier Bauer Am Abend auf der Bank, Er dengelt seine Sense Und singt dem Himmel Dank. Da drunten in dem Grunde, Da dämmert längst der Teich. Es liegt in ihm versunken Eine Krone stolz und reich; Sie läßt zunacht wohl spielen Karfunkel und Saphir; Sie liegt seit grauen Jahren, Und niemand sucht nach ihr.

Là-haut sur la colline S'élève une petite maison ; Depuis le seuil on voit Au-dehors un beau pays. Là-bas un paysan libre est assis Le soir sur un banc, Il y martèle sa faux Et de son chant remerciant le ciel. En bas, dans un fond, Est depuis longtemps un sombre étang. Il s'y trouve engloutie Une riche et fière couronne ; La nuit elle fait jouer Escarboucles et saphirs ; Elle y est depuis la nuit des temps Et personne ne la recherche.
