Euch Blümlein will ich senden
Zur schönen Jungfrau dort,
Fleht sie, mein Leid zu enden
Mit einem guten Wort.
Du, Rose, kannst ihr sagen,
Wie ich in Lieb' erglüh',
Wie ich um sie muß klagen
Und weinen spät und früh.
...
Du, Myrte, flüstre leise
Ihr meine Hoffnung zu,
Sag': auf des Lebens Reise
Glänzt ihm kein Stern als du.
Du, Ringelblume, deute
Ihr der Verzweiflung Schmerz,
Sag' ihr: des Grabes Beute
Wird ohne dich sein Herz.

Jullie, bloemen, wil ik zenden
Naar 't mooie meisje daar,
Smeek haar: 'Stop zijn ellende
Met 'n woord of lief gebaar.'
Jij, roosje, laat haar weten:
Mijn hartendief is zij,
Dat 'k haar niet kan vergeten
En altijd om haar schrei.
...
Jij, goudsbloem, moet verhalen
Hoe mij de wanhoop tart.
Zeg haar: 'In 't graf afdalen
Zal zonder jou zijn hart.'
