Einst am schönen Frühlingsmorgen Tritt der Räuber vor den Wald. Sieh, den hohlen Pfad herneder Kommt ein schlankes Mädchen bald, "Trügst du, statt der Maienglocken," Spricht des Waldes kühner Sohn, "In dem Korb den Schmuck des Königs, Frei doch zögerst du davon!" Lange folgen seine Blicke Der geliebten Wallerin; Durch die Wiesengründe wandelt sie Zu stillen Dörfern hin, Bis der Gärten reiche Blüte Hüllt die liebliche Gestalt. Doch der Räuber kehret wieder In den finstern Tannenwald.

Una volta, in un bel mattino di primavera, usciva il brigante dal bosco. Guarda, dal cupo sentiero quaggiù ecco viene una fanciulla snella, "Se anche tu portassi, invece delle campanelle di maggio - dice il fiero figlio del bosco - nel tuo paniere i gioielli del re, ti lascerei andare libera!" A lungo segue con lo sguardo l'amabile contadinella; lei se ne va per i prati verso il quieto villaggio, fin che nel giardino fiorito si perde la soave figura. E il brigante torna ancora nell'oscuro bosco, là.
