In de eik die met bladen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
In de eik die met bladen Haar venster omringt Een vogelijn springt; Zij wenschte zoo lang En zoo gaarne te raden waar't kweelend van zingt. Wat staat gij en luistert met heimlijk verdriet naar 't slepende lied? Ik heb het zoo vaak in u ooren gefluisterd En weet gij't nog niet?

Im Baum dessen Schatten
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Dutch (Nederlands)
Im Baum dessen Schatten Ihr Fenster umringt Ein Vögelein springt; Sie wünschte so lang Und so gerne zu rathen, Was zwitschernd es singt. Was lauschest du Mägdlein mit stillem Verdruss, Des Vögeleins Gruss? Ich sang dir's so oft In das Herze hinein, Und weisst du noch nicht, Was heissen est muss?
