Hoch über stillen Höhen
Stand in dem Wald ein Haus;
So einsam war's zu sehen,
Dort übern Wald hinaus.
Ein Mädchen saß darinnen
Bei stiller Abendzeit,
Tät seidne Fäden spinnen
Zu ihrem Hochzeitskleid.

A dalt del silent tossal
hi ha una casa enmig del bosc;
es veia tan solitària
allà des del bosc.
A dins, seia una donzella
en la tranquil·la vesprada,
teixint fils de seda
per al seu vestit de noces.
