Rauschendes Bächlein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Rauschendes Bächlein, So silbern und hell, Eilst zur Geliebten So munter und schnell? Ach trautes Bächlein Mein Bote sey Du; Bringe die Grüße Des Fernen ihr zu. All' ihre Blumen Im Garten gepflegt, Die sie so lieblich Am Busen trägt, Und ihre Rosen In purpurner Gluth, Bächlein, erquicke Mit kühlender Fluth. [Wenn]1 sie am Ufer, In Träume versenkt, Meiner gedenkend Das Köpfchen hängt; Tröste die Süße Mit freundlichem Blick, Denn der Geliebte Kehrt bald zurück. Neigt sich die Sonne Mit röthlichem Schein, Wiege das Liebchen In Schlummer ein. Rausche sie murmelnd In süße Ruh, Flüstre ihr Träume Der Liebe zu.

Liefdesboodschap
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Klaterend beekje, Als zilver zo hel, Ben je op weg naar Mijn liefste zo snel? Ach, schattig beekje, Kom vlug, maak je klaar; Breng van de Verre Nu groeten naar haar. Zorg voor haar bloemen, In 't tuintje gekweekt, Die zij zo mooi op Haar boezem steekt. En ook haar rozen Met purperen gloed, Beekje, verkwik en Verkoel ze maar goed. Als aan de oever Zij stil van mij droomt, 't Hoofdje laat hangen, Bevreesd en beschroomd, Troost dan die lieve, Verblijd haar maar vlug, Want haar beminde Keert gauw terug. Wanneer de zon daalt Met roodachtig licht, Wieg zacht in slaap dan Dat lieve wicht. Breng haar al ruisend In zoete rust, Laat haar maar dromen: Ik word gekust.
