[ ... ]
A time will come with feeling fraught!
For, if I fall in battle fought,
Thy hapless lover's dying thought
Shall be a thought on thee, Mary.
And if returned from conquered foes,
How blithely will the evening close,
How sweet the linnet sing repose,
To my young bride and me, Mary!

So mußt' ich von dir scheiden, du holde süße Braut?

Ach, denken darf ich nicht an dein getreues Herz.
