Kleine Tropfen, seid ihr Tränen An den Blumenkelchen da? Oder war's des Herzens Sehnen, Das die Blumen weinen sah? Frühlingssäuseln, wehst die Klagen In das zarte junge Grün? Oder hör' nur ich es fragen: Wo sind deine Freuden hin? Gottes Augen seid ihr nimmer, Sternlein in dem Himmelszelt! Ach, es strahlt kein Trostesschimmer In die freudenlose Welt!

Petites gotes, sou llàgrimes damunt els calzes de les flors? O era l’anhel del meu cor que veié plorar les flors? Mormol de primavera, alenes els planys en la tendra verdor primerenca? O tan sols et sento preguntar: on ha marxat la teva alegrança? Mai heu sigut els ulls de Déu, vosaltres, petites estrelles al firmament! Ai, no brilla cap besllum de conhort en aquest món sense joia!
