Weißdorn und Walnußbaum Hörten's mit an, Raschelt' ein Kleidersaum Zaghaft heran. Schlüpften zwei Käferschuh Ueber den Kies, Schlüpften den Büschen zu, Wo sie der Mut verließ. Zögerndes Hin und Her, Aengstlich husch, husch, Rechts vorbei, links vorbei, Dann in den Busch. Wiegender Walnußbaum, Ach was der sah! Stimmchen, man hört es kaum, "Sag, bist du da?" Klingts aus den Zweigen schon "Kuckuk" so sacht, "Liebster, ich seh dich schon".. Freut sich und lacht. Frühlingstraum, Freudentraum, Ach und zum Schluß, Weißdorn und Walnußbaum, War das ein Kuß?

White hawthorn and walnut tree Heard it as well, When the hem of a garment rustled Timidly hither. When two golden slippers rushed Over the gravel, Slipped over to the bushes, Where their courage failed them. Hesitating back and forth, A timorous hurrying, Past on the right, past on the left, Then into the bush. Waving walnut tree, Ah, what it saw! A little voice, one can barely hear it, "Tell me, are you there?" Already from the branches there sounds "Cuckoo" so gently, "Beloved, I see you already". . Rejoices and laughs. Dream of spring, dream of joy, Ah, and at the last, White hawthorn and walnut tree, Was that a kiss?
