Lutad mot gärdet stod Gossen vid flickans arm, Såg öfver slagen äng: "Sommarens tid har flytt, Blommorna vissnat re'n; Skön är din kind likväl, Rosor och liljor der Blomstra, som förr, ännu." Våren kom åter, då Stod han allena der! Flickan var borta -- låg Vissnad i jordens famn; Ängen var grön igen, Leende, blomsterrik.

Appuyé contre la barrière, le garçon était au bras de la fille, Il regardait le pré fauché: "L'été est passé, Les fleurs sont fanées; mais ta joue est encore belle, Les roses et les lys y fleurissent encore comme avant." Le printemps est revenu, et alors il était là tout seul! La fille était partie, elle gisait fanée dans le sein de la terre; Le pré avait reverdi, souriant et fleuri.
