Bringet des treu'sten Herzens Grüße, Eilende Wellen, zu ihr hin. Sagt, wie ich jedes Glück vermisse, Seit ich von ihr geschieden bin. Hier empfind' ich alle Schmerzen, Dort vergaß ich jedes Leid, Aug' in Auge, Herz an Herzen, Ach, es war wohl schöne Zeit! Sieh', der Wind zieht ihr entgegen, Ihr entgegen eilt der Bach, Alles will zu ihr sich bewegen, Wolken und Blätter zieh'n ihr nach. Ich allein muß vorwärts ziehen, Ich darf wenden nicht den Blick, Aber alle Sinne fliehen Mit den Wolken dort zurück! Und so rufen neue Stellen Nur die alten mir empor, Und es blickt aus Wald und Wellen Nur ihr liebes Bild hervor; Alles mahnt nur an die süße, Die entschwund'ne Fröhlichkeit. Bringt dem treuen Herzen Grüße, Ach, es war wohl schöne Zeit!

Porteu les salutacions del cor més fidel, oh ones diligents, a ella. Digueu-li com em manca tota la felicitat des que em vaig separar d’ella. Aquí pateixo tots els dolors, allà oblidava totes les penes, ulls mirant-se, cors trobant-se, ai, era ben bé un bell temps! Mireu, el vent bufa vers ella, vers ella corre el rierol, tot es vol moure vers ella, núvols i fulles la segueixen. Només jo haig de viatjar endavant, no m’és permès de girar el meu esguard, però tots els meus sentits volen amb els núvols cap allà, endarrera! I així, nous indrets només em recorden els ja coneguts, i dels boscos i de les onades, només veig aparèixer la seva estimada imatge; tot em recorda només la dolça, la desapareguda joia. Porteu-li les salutacions del cor més fidel, ai, era ben bé un bell temps!
