In dem Mondenschein im Wald Sah ich jüngst die Elfen reiten; Ihre Hörner hört' ich klingen, Ihre Glöcklein hört' ich läuten. Ihre weißen Rößlein trugen Goldnes Hirschgeweih und flogen Rasch dahin; wie wilde Schwäne Kam es durch die Luft gezogen. Lächelnd nickte mir die Kön'gin, Lächelnd im Vorüberreiten. Galt das meiner neuen Liebe, Oder soll es Tod bedeuten?

In het maanlicht door de wouden Zag ik laatst de elfen rijden; En hun horens hoord' ik klinken, En hun klokjes hoord' ik luiden. En hun witte paardjes droegen Gouden hertsgewei en vlogen Vlug weer weg; als wilde zwanen Kwam het door de lucht getogen. Lachend knikte mij de koningin, Lachend, toen zij langs mij reden. Wees dat mij op nieuwe liefde, Of zou het de dood beduiden?
