Adieu, plaisant pays de France, ô ma patrie La plus chérie, Qui as nourri ma jeune enfance ; Adieu, France ! adieu, mes beaux jours ! La nef qui disjoint nos amours N'a cy de moi que la moitié ; Une part te reste, elle est tienne. Je la fie à ton amitié Pour que de l?autre il te souvienne.

Ich zieh' dahin! Ade, mein fröhlich Frankenland, Wo ich die liebste Heimath fand, Du meiner Kindheit Pflegerin. Ade, du Land, du schöne Zeit -- Mich trennt das Boot vom Glück so weit! Doch trägt's die Hälfte nur von mir: Ein Theil für immer bleibet dein, Mein fröhlich Land, der sage dir, Des Andern eingedenk zu sein! --
