Laublos schon steht der Wald, Schnee deckt die Höhn im Ost, Ach, was macht mein Lieb wohl im West, Vom Sturm umtost? Als fort sie ging, da stand Im Maien die Sonne, Ahnungsselig träumt ich Nur von Himmelswonne. Auf, ihr Winde, brauset, Jagt über Berg und Tal, Hin zu ihren Füssen Tragt all die Blätter fahl. Auf jedem Blättchen steht, Ach, des Armen Name; Sagt ihr, dass hier ich starb, Ach, im Liebesgrame!

La forêt a déjà perdu ses feuilles, La neige recouvre les hauteurs à l'est, Ah, que fait mon amour à l'ouest, Secouée par la tempête ? Quand elle est partie, alors brillait Le soleil de mai, L'esprit heureux, je rêvais Seulement de bonheur céleste. Debout, les vents, grondez, Chassez sur la montagne et la vallée, Là-bas à ses pieds Apportez toutes les feuilles fanées. Sur chaque petite feuille se trouve, Hélas, le nom du malheureux, Dites-lui que je suis mort ici, Hélas, dans la souffrance de l'amour !
