Es bebet das Gesträuche,
gestreift hat es im Fluge
ein Vögelein.
In gleicher Art erbebet
die Seele mir, erschüttert
von Liebe, Lust und Leide,
gedenkt sie dein.

Pensaikko värähtää,
kun sitä lentäessään hipaisee
lintunen.
Samalla tavalla värähtelee sielunikin
rakkauden, lemmenkiihkon ja –tuskan voimasta
ajatellessaan sinua.
