Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend, In ihrem grauen Haar, Sitzt die Duenna murmelnd, Im roten Röckchen da. Sie wartet in der Laube, Sie liebt Pierrot mit Schmerzen, Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend, In ihrem grauen Haar. Da plötzlich - horch! - ein Wispern! Ein Windhauch kichert leise: Der Mond, der böse Spötter, Äfft nach mit seinen Strahlen - Stricknadeln, blink und blank.

Med strikkepinnar, skinande blanke i sitt grånande hår, sit duennaen og mumlar i sitt raude knelange skjørt. Ho ventar i lauvet Ho elskar Pierrot -- med smerte med strikkepinnar, skinande blanke i sitt grånande hår. Men brått -- høyr! -- ei kviskring! Eit vindpust kniser varleg: Månen, den infame spottefuglen strålar fram ein karikatur av strikkepinnar, skinande blanke.
