So oft sie kam, erschien mir die Gestalt
So lieblich wie das erste Grün im Wald.

Und was sie sprach, drang mir zum Herzen ein
Süß wie des Frühlings erstes Lied  ... .

Und als Lebwohl sie winkte mit der Hand,
War's, ob der letzte Jugendtraum mir schwand.

Komen en weggaan

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Zo vaak zij kwam, was mij haar beeld vertrouwd,
Zo lieflijk als het eerste groen in 't woud.
 
En wat zij zei drong mij in 't harte diep,
Zoet als  het eerste lentelied.
 
En toen 'vaarwel' zij wuifde en ging heen,
Was 't of mijn laatste jongensdroom verdween.
