Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne,
Die liebt' ich einst alle in Liebeswonne.
Ich lieb' sie nicht mehr, ich liebe alleine
Die Kleine, die Feine, die Reine, die Eine;
Sie selber, aller Liebe Wonne,
Ist Rose und Lilie und Taube und Sonne.

Το ρόδο, τον κρίνο, το περιστέρ
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Το ρόδο, τον κρίνο, το περιστέρι, τον ήλιο
όλα τ’ αγάπησα με μέθη δεν τ’ αγαπώ πια
δεν αγαπώ παρά μόνο εκείνη
την τόσο χαριτωμένη, την τόσο αγνή, την τόσο όμορφη!
Εκείνη μόνο, πηγή κάθε αγάπης,
είναι για μένα το ρόδο, το κρίνο, το περιστέρι, ο ήλιος
δεν αγαπώ παρά μόνο εκείνη εκείνη μόνο
την τόσο χαριτωμένη, την τόσο αγνή, την τόσο όμορφη.
