Du zähltest wohl die Regentropfen Und alle Blätter im Grödner Thal, Eh' daß Du meines Herzens Klopfen Verstündest und der Sehnsucht Qual. Umsonst such' ich in Deinen Blicken Durch Deiner langen Wimpern Nicken Nach einer Hoffnung Sonnenstrahl. Und wenn ich Deiner nur gedenke, Wie wird es mir im Busen heiß! Doch still aus dieses Thales Senke Brech' ich mir bald das letzte Reis. Fahr wohl! und daß Dich Gott behüte In Deiner sternenkeuschen Blüthe, Du felsumgürtet Edelweiß!

A ben cert hauries de comptar totes les gotes de pluja i totes les fulles de la vall de Grödner, abans que poguessis copsar el batec del meu cor i el turment del deler. Debades cerco en el teu esguard, a través del parpelleig de les teves llargues pestanyes, un raig de sol d’esperança. I quan penso en tu, el meu pit abrusa! Però al fons d’aquesta vall trencaré aviat el darrer branquilló. Adéu! I que Déu et guardi en la puresa estel·lar de la teva florida, tu edelweiss envoltat de rocam!
