Der Strom, der neben mir verrauschte, wo ist er nun? Der Vogel, dessen Lied ich lauschte, wo ist er nun? Wo ist die Rose, die die Freundin am Herzen trug? Und jener Kuß, der mich berauschte, wo ist er nun? Und jener Mensch, der ich gewesen, und den ich längst Mit einem andern ich vertauschte, wo ist er nun?

De stroom die naast mij hier eerst boordde, waar is hij nu? De vogel naar wiens lied ik hoorde, waar is hij nu? Waar is de roos nu, die mijn liefste op ’t harte droeg? En ook die kus die mij vervoerde, waar is die nu? En dan die mens, die ik geweest ben en die ik lang Al voor een ander ik afvoerde, waar is hij nu?
