Ein Traum: du stehest fern und still, Es schlägt mein Herz beklommen -- O Mutter, Mutter kannst du nicht Zu mir herüberkommen? Und jede Nacht derselbe Traum! Es schluchzt mein Herz beklommen -- O Mutter, warum willst du nicht Zu mir herüberkommen?

Un rêve : tu es loin et silencieuse, Mon cœur oppressé bat. Ô mère, mère ne peux-tu pas Venir à moi jusqu'ici ? Et chaque nuit le même rêve ! Mon cœur oppressé sanglote. Ô mère, pourquoi ne veux-tu pas Venir à moi jusqu'ici ?
