Die schlanke Wasserlilie Schaut träumend empor aus dem See; Da grüßt der Mond herunter Mit lichtem Liebesweh. Verschämt senkt sie ihr Köpfchen Wieder zurück zu den Welln -- Da sieht sie zu ihren Füßen Den armen Geselln.

Quand l'élégante fleur de nénuphar Du lac lève ses yeux rêveurs, L'astre de la nuit abaisse son regard sur elle Avec un lumineux soupir d'amour. Confuse, elle penche alors sa petite tête De nouveau vers les vagues ; Et là, elle voit à ses pieds La pâle figure de son compagnon.
