På drivans snö där glimmar en diamant så klar. Ej fanns en tår, en pärla, som högre skimrat har. Utav en hemlig längtan hon blänker himmelskt så: hon blickar emot solen, där skön den ses uppgå. Vid foten av dess stråle tillbedjande hon står och kysser den i kärlek och smälter i en tår. O, sköna lott att älska det högsta livet ter, att stråla i dess solblick och dö, när skönst den ler!
Note: modern Swedish would spell the title "Diamanten på marssnön".

Auf schneebedeckten Höhen erstrahlt ein Diamant und keine Trän’ und Perle glänzt heller hier im Land. In heimlichem Verlangen glitzert er himmlisch auf und blickt der Sonn’ entgegen, sobald beginnt ihr Lauf. Am Fuße ihres Strahles kniet er mit frommem Sinn und küsst ihn voller Liebe und schmilzt als Träne hin. Welch Glück, Schönstes zu lieben, was Leben bieten kann, zu leuchten in der Sonne und gehn, strahlt sie dich an.
