I rosens doft, i blomsterlundens gömma, Der friden bor emellan berg och dal, Låt oss fördrömma lifvets vår, Låt oss förglömma hjertats sär, Ack, låt oss verlden glömma! O, fråga ej: hvad är att lycklig vara? O, fråga ej: hvad är att vara [glad]1? Blott hör naturens egen röst, Och gom dess ord uti ditt bröst, Och sök att den förklara.

Im Rosenduft, im reichen Blütensegen, Im tief verborg'nen, lenzdurchsonnten Tal, Da schweigt im Herzen jedes Leid, Und wandelt sich zur Seligkeit, Laß fern die Welt sich regen! O frage nicht: Wo fließt des Glückes Bronnen? O frage nicht: Gibt es noch größ're Freud'? Schlag zur Natur die Augen auf, Sie gibt allein dir Antwort drauf, Dir kündens ihre Wonnen.
