Wenn auf dem höchsten Fels ich steh',
In's tiefe Thal hernieder seh'
Und singe,

Fern aus dem tiefen dunkeln Thal
Schwingt sich empor der Wiederhall
Der Klüfte.

Je weiter meine Stimme dringt,
Je heller sie mir wiederklingt
Von unten.

Mein Liebchen wohnt so weit von mir,
Drum sehn' ich mich so heiß nach ihr
Hinüber!

»In tiefem Gram verzehr' ich mich,
Mir ist die Freude hin!
Auf Erden mir die Hoffnung wich,
Ich hier so einsam bin!

So sehnend klang im Wald das Lied,
So sehnend klang es durch die Nacht;
Die Herzen es zum Himmel zieht
Mit wunderbarer Macht.

Ein Herz im Liede lebt:

In ihm zum Himmel strebt.

Als op de hoogste rots ik sta,
In 't diepe dal mijn blikken sla,
Al zingend,

Ver uit het diepe donk're dal
Zweept zich omhoog de echoval
Der kloven.

Hoe verder weg mijn stem doordringt,
Te helderder zij terug weer klinkt
Van onder.

Mijn liefje woont zo ver van mij,
Te feller branden doet z' in mij
't Verlangen.

 ... 

Het diep verdriet verteert mijn ziel,
Ik ben mijn blijheid kwijt,
Elk sprankje hoop mij hier ontviel,
Ik leef in eenzaamheid.

Zo smachtend klonk in 't woud het lied,
Zo smachtend klonk het door de nacht,
Geen hart dat niet ten hemel schiet;
't Heeft wonderbare macht.
