Wie dich die warme Luft umscherzt, Das schatt'ge Grün, o wie dich's kühlt! Wie leicht ist all das Weh verschmerzt, Das in der Seele wühlt! Des Liebchens Bildnis zeige sich In jedem Quell, an dem du stehst, Ein sanftes Lied beruh'ge dich, Wenn durch den Wald du gehst. Drum warte, bis der Winter naht, Bis alles starr und öde liegt, Und Reif und Schnee auf Flur und Saat Dich melancholisch wiegt!

Quand l'air chaud badine autour de toi, Ô comme l'ombre des feuilles te rafraîchit ! Comme on se console facilement de tout le mal Qui fourrage l'âme ! L'image de la bien-aimée se montre Dans chaque source que tu approches, Une douce chanson te touche Lorsque tu vas dans la forêt. Mais attends que l'hiver approche, Que tout soit figé et désert, Et que, sur champs et semis, givre et neige Te bercent mélancoliquement !
