Ist ein Hüttlein gebauet
Über'm Thal auf der Höh',
Schaut herab auf die Felder
Und den flimmernden See.
Viel verwitterte Namen
Sind geritzt in die Wand
Und darunter auch Einer,
Den mein Herz gut gekannt.
Ach, wo ist er geblieben,
Dessen Hand ihn einst schrieb?
War ein fröhlicher Bursche
Und ich hatte ihn lieb.

A little hut is built
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
A little hut is built
Over the valley upon the heights,
It looks down on the fields
And the sparkling lake.
Many weathered names
Are carved into the wall
And among them is also one
That my heart knew well.
Ah, what happened to him
Whose hand once wrote it?
He was a merry lad
And I loved him.
