Dem Herzen ähnlich, wenn es lang Umsonst nach einer Träne rang, Die seine Qual entbinde, Sprengt nun die Erde, die erstarrt Von Reif und Frost gebunden ward, Die eis'ge Winterrinde. Durch Wald und Feld, um Berg und See Sprießt wuchernd auf ihr altes Weh' Und grünt in Zweig und Ranken Und dunkelt in dem Himmelsblau Und zittert in den Tropfen Tau, Die an den Gräsern schwanken. Nun, Gram um sie, die ich verlor, Erstarrter, brich auch du hervor, Um mit dem Strom zu fluten!1 Im Blitz der Wolke sollst du glüh'n Und mit den Nachtviolen blüh'n Und [in]2 den Rosen bluten.

Semblant al cor que, per molt temps, ha maldat en va per una llàgrima que alliberi el seu turment, la terra que, enterca, havia estat fermada pel glaç i la gebrada, trenca ara la crosta hivernal. Per camps i boscos, al voltant de llacs i muntanyes, brota prolífera damunt el seu antic dolor i reverdeja a branques i sarments, fosqueja en el blau del cel i tremola en les gotes de rosada que trontollen a l’herba. I ara, el dolor per ella, la que vaig perdre, enterc, esclata tu també i surt enfora per fluir amb el corrent del riu! Has de resplendir en els llamps dels núvols, florir amb les violes de nit i sagnar entre les roses.
