Ich habe wohl, es sei hier laut Vor aller Welt verkündigt, Gar vielen heimlich anvertraut, Was du an mir [gesündigt.]1 Ich sagt's dem ganzen Blumenheer, Dem Veilchen sagt' ich's stille, Der Rose laut und lauter der Großäugigen Kamille. Doch hat's dabei noch keine Not, Bleib' munter nur und heiter, Die es gewußt, sind alle tot, Und sagen's nicht mehr weiter.

Je suis content qu'à haute voix Le monde entier sache Ce qui avait été confié à bon nombre, Le mal que tu m'as fait; Je l'ai dit à toute la foule des fleurs, À la violette, je l'ai dit doucement, À la rose, fort, encore plus fort À la camomille aux grands yeux. Il n'y a donc plus lieu de s'en affliger, Je suis tout simplement allègre et enjoué; Ceux qui le savent sont tous morts Et n'en parleront plus.
