Strahlt zuweilen auch ein mildes Licht Auf mich hin aus diesem Angesicht - Ach, es können auch wohl Huldgebärden Machen, daß uns fast das Herze bricht. Was die Liebe sucht, um froh zu werden, Das verraten diese Blicke nicht.

Straalt bij tijden wel een vriend’lijk licht Naar mij toe vanuit dit aangezicht – Ach, misschien zijn ‘t ook wel omgangsvormen Waardoor ons het hart soms bijna zwicht. Wat de liefde zoekt om blij te worden, Komt door deze blikken niet aan ’t licht.
