Und gehest du über den Kirchhof
Language: German (Deutsch)
Und geh[e]st du über den Kirchhof, Da find'st du ein frisches Grab; Da senkten sie mit Thränen Ein schönes Herz hinab. Und fragst du, woran's gestorben? Kein Grabstein Antwort giebt; Doch leise flüstern die [Lüftchen]1, Es hatte zu heiß geliebt.

Als jij gaat over het kerkhof
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Als jij gaat over het kerkhof, Dan vind je een spitvers graf; Daar zonk men onder tranen Een heel lief hart pas af. En vraag je, hoe kwam 't te sterven? Je nergens antwoord vindt; Maar zachtjes fluist'ren de winden: Het heeft al te zeer bemind!'
