Es flüstert im Bache, Es lauscht die Nacht, -- Was dort, an der Weide, Die Maid wohl macht? Die Rinde umklammert Die bleiche Hand, Es strömen die Thränen Ihr unverwandt. Da klinget ein Grüßen Vom Wasser her: "O komm nur, Du fühlest Dein Weh nicht mehr! "Bei mir ist Vergessen, Hier unten Ruh, Ich sag es ja Keinem, Ich deck Dich zu!" Es flüstert im Bache, Es weint die Nacht -- Was habt mit dem Mägdlein Ihr beide gemacht?

Il y a un murmure dans le ruisseau, La nuit écoute, -- Là, près du saule, Que peut faire la jeune fille ? Serrant l'écorce, De sa main pâle, Ses larmes coulent Continûment. Un salut retentit Venant de l'eau : « Oh, viens seulement, Tu ne ressentiras Plus ta douleur ! « En moi est l'oubli, En bas est le repos, Je ne le dirai à personne, Je te recouvrirai ! » Il y a un murmure dans le ruisseau, La nuit pleure, -- Avec la jeune fille qu'avez-vous Fait, vous deux ?
