Die braune Haide starrt mich an, Am Himmel bangt die Nacht - Ach! daß ich nicht vergessen kann, Hat mich in Leid gebracht. Komm, wilder Sturm, zerreiße du, Der Wolken schwarzen Flor Und sing mein wildes Herz in Ruh Mit deinem tollsten Chor!

La bruyère brune me regarde fixement, Tandis que la nuit menace dans le ciel -- Hélas ! Je ne peux pas oublier Ce qui m'a apporté de la peine. Viens, tempête sauvage, fais éclater Les voiles noirs de nuages Et chante à mon cœur sauvage de s'apaiser Avec ton chœur féroce !
