Er ist uns geschieden Vom Berg und vom Walde, Wie versiegte Quelle, Als Noth uns bedrängte. Die Quelle wird fließen, Genährt von dem Regen, Uns scheint nie mehr Freude, Dem Duncan kein Morgen. Die Hand des Schnitters Nimmt reife Aehren, Unser Trauergesang Klagt blühende Jugend, Der Herbstwind treibt Blätter Die gelben, die welken, Es blüht' unsre Blume, Als Mehlthau sie welkte. Ihr flüchtigen Füße, Du Rath in Bedrängniß, Du Arm im Streite, Wie tief ist dein Schlummer! Wie Thau auf den Bergen, Wie Schaum auf dem Bache, Wie Blas' auf der Welle - Bist ewig geschieden.

Il nous a quittées loin des montagnes et de la forêt, Comme une source tarie, alors que la misère nous opprimait. La source coulera , nourrie par la pluie, La joie ne brillera plus pour nous, il n'y aura plus de matin pour Duncan. La main du moissonneur prend les épis, Notre chant funèbre pleure la jeunesse florissante, Le vent pousse les feuilles, jaunes et fanées, Notre fleur fleurissait quand le mildiou l'a fanée. Pieds rapides, conseil dans l'embarras, Bras dans la bataille, comme ton sommeil est profond, Comme la rosée sur les montagnes, comme l'écume sur le ruisseau, Comme une bulle sur la vague tu es parti pour toujours.
