Turteltaube, du klagest so laut Und raubest dem Armen seinen einzigen Trost, Süßen vergessenden Schlaf. Turteltaub', ich jammre wie du, Und berge den Jammer in's verwundete Herz, In die verschlossene Brust. Ach, die hart verteilende Liebe! Sie gab dir die laute Jammerklage zum Trost, Mir den verstummenden Gram!

Tortelduifje, je klaagt toch zo luid, Ontneemt aan de arme zo zijn enige troost, Zoete, vergetende slaap. Tortelduif, ik jammer als jij Maar kluister de jammer in ’t gepijnigde hart, In de vergrendelde borst. Ach, de wreed verdelende liefde! Zij gaf jou het luide jammerklagen tot troost, Mij het verstommend verdriet!
