by Georg Hermann Österley, der Ältere (1758 - 1825)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Geflohn ist sie, geflohn davon
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Geflohn ist sie, geflohn davon, 
Und ach!  ich armer Unglückssohn, 
Ich sitze hier und weine.

Seht, selbst der liebe Mond wird blaß, 
Ach, liebe Sterne, was ist das? 
Ihr blinzt ja mit den Äuglein!  

Hör' auf zu trauren, lieber Mond: 
Ich weiß ja, wo das Mädel wohnt; 
Grämt euch doch nicht, ihr Sterne!  

Hast gutes Herz, du Himmelsheer, 
Nie liebte mich ein Freund so sehr, 
Als du, du fromm Gesindel.  

Du weinest, wenn ich traurig bin, 
Und lachest, wenn ich fröhlich bin:  
Hab' Dank, du fromm Gesindel.

Efter det Tydske
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the German (Deutsch) 
O eengang var jeg lykkelig, 
Og Glæden smiilte ned til mig, 
Hver gang min Elskte smiilte. 

Min Hånd hun trykte mangen gang, 
Såe venlig til mig, når hun sang, 
Om troe og ømme Hjerter.  

O når hun såe så blidt til mig, 
Da var jeg glad og lykkelig, 
Trods alle Jordens Fyrster.  

Men nu hun aldrig til mig seer, 
Ei smiller eller synger meer, 
Det smerter mig så såre; 

Men hvis den Fryd er svundet hen, 
Og kommer aldrig meer igjen, 
O gid jeg den måe glemme!  

O!  når man er ulykkelig, 
Der martrer, at erinde sig 
Den nydte, tabte Glæde.
