Wandl ich in dem Morgentau Durch die dufterfüllte Au, Muß ich schämen mich so sehr Vor den Blümlein ringsumher! Täublein auf dem Kirchendach, Fischlein in dem Mühlenbach Und das Schlänglein still im Kraut, Alles fühlt und nennt sich Braut. Apfelblüt im lichten Schein Dünkt sich stolz ein Mütterlein; Freudig stirbt so früh im Jahr Schon das Papillonenpaar. Gott, was hab ich denn getan, Daß ich ohne Lenzgespan, Ohne einen süßen Kuß Ungeliebet sterben muß?

Camino a la rosada del matí a través de la flairant prada, em sento tan avergonyida davant les flors al meu entorn! El colom a la teulada de l’església, el peix al rierol del molí, i la serp immòbil a l’herba, tots se senten i es diuen promesos. La flor del pomer en lluminosa aparença sembla orgullosa de ser mare; joioses, ben aviat a l’any, moren ja les parelles de papallones. Oh Déu, què he fet doncs perquè sense parella a primavera, sense una dolça besada, hagi de morir sense ser estimada?
