"Mutter, hilf mir armen Tochter, Sieh' nur, was ein Knabe tat: Einen Kranz von Rosen flocht er, Den er mich zu tragen bat!" ""Ei, sei deshalb unerschrocken, Helfen läßt sich dir gewiß! Nimm den Kranz nur aus den Locken, Und den Knaben, den vergiß!"" "Dornen hat der Kranz, o Mutter, Und die halten fest das Haar! Worte sprach der Knabe, Mutter, an die denk' ich immerdar!"

"Moeder, help mij, arme dochter! Kijk eens, wat een jongen bracht: Ja, een krans van rozen vlocht ie, Die hij mij graag dragen zag." ""Ai, maar daarvan niet geschrokken; Dat kost jou geen nachtje slaap! Neem de krans maar van je lokken En vergeet die jonge knaap!"" "Dorens heeft de krans, o moeder, En die klitten in mijn haar! Woorden sprak de jongen, moeder, Waar ’k aan denk nog honderd jaar!"
