Holder klingt der Vogelsang, Wann die Engelreine, Die mein Jünglingsherz bezwang, Wandelt durch die Haine. Röther blühet Thal und Au, Grüner wird der Wasen, Wo mir Blumen, rot und blau, Ihre Hände lasen. Ohne sie ist alles todt, Welk sind Blüt' und Kräuter; Und kein Frühlingsabendroth Dünkt mir schön und heiter. Traute, minnigliche Frau, Wollest nimmer fliehen; Daß mein Herz, gleich dieser Au, Mög' in Wonne blühen!

Heerlijk klinkt de vogelzang, Als mijn lief, mijn leven, Die mijn jeugdig hart innam, Wandelt door de dreven. Roder bloeien dal en wei, Groener wordt de aarde Waar zij bloemen allerlei Met haar hand vergaarde. Zonder haar is alles dood, Kwijnen bloem en kruiden; En geen lenteavondrood Kan mij vreugd bereiden. Lieve, liefelijke vrouw, Wil toch nooit meer weggaan; Dat mijn hart, als deze gouw, Moge blij in bloei staan!
