Daß du so krank geworden, Wer hat es denn gemacht? -- Kein kühler Hauch aus Norden Und keine Sternennacht. Kein Schatten unter Bäumen, Nicht Glut des Sonnenstrahls, Kein Schlummern und kein Träumen Im Blütenbett des Tals. Kein Trunk vom Felsensteine, Kein Wein aus vollem Glas, Der Baumesfrüchte keine, Nicht Blume und nicht Gras. Daß ich trag' Todeswunden, Das ist der Menschen Tun; Natur ließ mich gesunden, Sie lassen mich nicht ruhn.
R. Schumann sets stanzas 1, 2, 4

Tu soffri tanto, chi ti ha fatto tanto male? Non l'alito fresco del nord né la notte stellata. Non l'ombra sotto gli alberi, non il caldo del raggio del sole, non il sonno né i sogni nel letto fiorito della valle. [...] Le mie ferite mortali vengono dagli esseri umani; la natura mi ha risanato, quelli non mi lasciano in pace.
