Adieu à mes amis de Berlin
Language: French (Français) 
(Annonce)
Asile cher, où na lyre our musette
A trop longtemps soupiré sous mes doigts,
Témoin discret de ma peine secrète,
Écoute-moi pour la dernière fois!

(Explication)
Je vais partir! Hélas, l'heure est sonnée!
À mes amis je dis adieu!
Plus ne reviendra la journée
Qui me ramène dans ce lieu!
De vous revoir, amis, plus d'espérance,
Quand je m'exile sans retour!
Éternelle sera l'absence,
Éternel sera mon amour!

(Réflexion)
Pleurez amis, ô vous qu'un sort funeste
Arrache du toit paternel!
Souvent un doux espoir nous reste,
Mais l'adieu peut être éternel!

(Application)
Adieu, me dit un tendre père,
En me pressant contre son sein!
De mes pleurs j'inondais sa main!
Et cette fois fut la dernière,
Qu'il dit adieu, ce tendre père,
Qu'en larme il me dit adieu!
