An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust, Du meine Wonne, du meine Lust! Das Glück ist die Liebe, die Lieb' ist das Glück, Ich [hab' es]1 gesagt und nehm's nicht zurück. Hab' [überglücklich]2 mich geschätzt Bin überglücklich aber jetzt. Nur die da säugt, nur die da liebt Das Kind, dem sie die Nahrung giebt; Nur eine Mutter weiß allein, Was lieben heißt und glücklich sein. O, wie bedaur' ich doch den Mann, Der Mutterglück nicht fühlen kann! [Du schauest mich an und lächelst dazu, Du lieber, lieber Engel, du]3! An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust, Du meine Wonne, du meine Lust!
Louis Ferdinand sets stanzas 1-3, 7-8

在我心中, 在我胸前 你是我的歡樂, 我的快樂! 快樂是愛, 愛也即是快樂. 我如此說過, 並不會後悔我所曾說的 我常常覺得自己是歡樂的, 但現在我知道我比那更快樂 只有她能哺乳 只有她能如此愛這個孩子 只有她才能給予孩子滋養 只有母親才能懂得 甚麼是愛, 甚麼是快樂. 阿, 我多麼同情男人 竟無法親身感受母親的快樂! 你, 我親愛的, 親愛的天使, 你看著我, 對著我微笑!
