Es grünt ein Nußbaum vor dem Haus,
Luftig,
Duftig
Breitet er blättrig die Äste aus.
Viel liebliche Blüten stehen dran;
Linde
Winde
Kommen, sie herzlich zu umfahn.
Es flüstern je zwei zu zwei gepaart,
Neigend,
Beugend
Zärtlich zum Kusse die Häuptchen zart.
Sie flüstern von meinem Mägdlein, das
Dächte
Nächte,
Tagelang, wüsste, ach! selber nicht was.
...
Das Mägdlein horcht, es rauscht im Baum;
Sehnend,
Wähnend
Sinkt es lächelnd in Schlaf und Traum.

Reverdece un nogal frente a la casa
extiende
sus aromáticas,
aireadas ramas.
Cuántos hermosos brotes crecen allí
los suaves
vientos
los acarician, amables.
Los brotes susurran de dos en dos,
curvándose
delicados,
para besar muy suavemente las cabecitas.
Susurran sobre una joven
que pensaba
noche y día,
quién sabe sobre qué.
...
La muchacha escucha el murmullo del árbol
Anhelante,
desciende
sonriendo hacia el descanso y el sueño.
