Im Garten am Seegestade Uralte Bäume stehn, In ihren hohen Kronen Sind kaum die Vögel zu sehn. Die Bäume mit hohen Kronen, Die rauschen Tag und Nacht, Die Wellen schlagen zum Strande, Die Vöglein singen sacht. Das gibt ein Musizieren So süß, so traurig bang, Als wie verlorner Liebe Und ewiger Sehnsucht Sang.

Nel giardino in riva al lago, stanno alberi antichissimi, nelle loro alte chiome a stento si scorgono gli uccelli. Gli alberi dalle alte chiome Stormiscono giorno e notte, le onde si abbattono sulla spiaggia, gli uccelli cantano soavemente. Ne nasce un suono di musica Così dolce, così pieno di malinconia, pare il canto di un amore perduto colmo di eterna nostalgia.
