Es singt ein Schnitter auf der Rast, Im Dufte schwelgt der reife Klee -- O du, daß du das alte Weh Mir wieder wachgesungen hast! Volkslieder, Kinderlieder gehn Leistönig auf im Abendwind, Und wieder schmerzen alle Wehn, Die doch vernarbt, vergessen sind. Spätabendwolken segeln zier, Die Erde atmet warm und weit . . . Was willst du heute noch von mir, [Verlorene]1 Jugendzeit?

Un segador canta quan fa una pausa, el trèvol madur es rabeja en perfums – Oh tu, que cantant m’has tornat a despertar el vell dolor! Cançons populars, cançons d’infants s’eleven fluixet en el vent del capvespre, i de nou fan mal tots els vells dolors que tanmateix eren cicatritzats, oblidats. Tard al vespre suren gràcils els núvols, la terra càlida i extensa, alena... Què vols avui encara de mi temps perdut de la meva jovenesa?
