Brausten alle Berge, Sauste rings der Wald, -- Meine jungen Tage, Wo sind sie so bald? Jugend, teure Jugend, Flohest mir dahin; O du holde Jugend, Achtlos war mein Sinn! Ich verlor dich leider, Wie wenn einen Stein Jemand von sich schleudert In die Flut hinein. Wendet sich der Stein auch Um in tiefer Flut, Weiss ich, dass die Jugend Doch kein Gleiches tut.

Alle bergen bruisten, Alom suisde 't woud, Ach, mijn jonge dagen, Waar is nu dat goud? Jeugd, geliefde jeugd, jij Die de vlucht verkoos; Jeugd, o mooie jaren, Ik was achteloos! Ik zag jou verdwijnen, Als wanneer men ooit Stenen van zich slingert, In het water gooit. Wendt zich soms de steen om In de diepe vloed, 'k Weet wel, dat de jeugd toch Niet hetzelfde doet.
