Dein Lied erklang, es war kein Ton vergebens,
Der ganze Frühling, der von Liebe haucht,
Hat, als du sangest, nieder sich getaucht,
Im sehnsuchtsvollen Strome meines Lebens,
Im Sonnenuntergang,
Als mir dein Lied erklang!

Aan Louise Hensel
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Leibowitz)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
 ... 

Jouw lied weerklonk, geen toon vergeefs gegeven,
De ganse lente, die van liefde zucht,
Is bij jouw zingen neerwaarts weggevlucht
In ’t hunkerende stromen van mijn leven,
In ’t ondergaan der zon,
Toen jij jouw lied begon!
