by Alexandre de Lacharme, Père (1695 - 1767)
Translation by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Der Unrechte
 (Sung text for setting by B. Sekles)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Auf hohem Berg die Fichte,
Im Thal das Besenkraut.
Indeß den Sinn ich richte
Nach einem Buhlen traut,
Kommt mir das Glück daher mit einem Wichte,
Der meint, nach ihm hätt' ich geschaut.

Die Ficht' auf hohem Berge,
Das Besenkraut im Tal.
Indeß ich hier mich berge
Dem Holden meiner Wahl,
Kommt mir das Glück heran mit diesem Zwerge,
Der meint, ich wart' auf ihn zumal.

Note: Modernized spelling would change "Thal" to "Tal", "Indeß" to "Indes", etc.
