Am See, tief zwischen Tann und Silberpappel, Beschirmt von Mauer und Gesträuch ein Garten, So weise angelegt mit monatlichen Blumen, Daß [er vom März bis zum Oktober blüht]1, Hier in der Früh, nicht allzu häufig, Sitz ich und wünsche mir, Auch ich mög alle Zeit in den verschiednen Wettern, Guten, schlechten, [guten, schlechten,]3 Dies oder jenes Angenehme [zeigen.]2

By the lake, hidden between firs and silvery poplars. Protected by a wall and bushes, a garden So wisely planted with various flowers That it blooms from March to October. Here, early in the morning, but not too often, I sit And wish that I too, might at all times, In all the different weathers - good, bad - Bring forth something pleasing of one sort or another.
