По утру, на заре, По росистой траве, Я пойду свежим утром дышать; И в душистую тень, Где теснится сирень, Я пойду своё счастье искать... В жизни счастье одно Мне найти суждено, И то счастье в сирени живёт; На зелёных ветвях, На душистых кистях Моё бедное счастье цветёт...

s' Morgens bij zonsopgang, loop ik over het bedauwde gras om de frisse ochtendlucht in te ademen. En in de geurige schemering, waar de sering in bloei staat zoek ik mijn geluk. Ik ben veroordeeld in dit leven om naar dat ene geluk te zoeken.. Dit ene geluk in mijn leven vind ik bij de seringenboom , waar op de groene takken in geurige trosjes, mijn arm geluk in bloei staat...
