Es wollt' ein Mädchen früh aufstehn Und in den grünen Wald spazieren gehn. Und als sie nun in den grünen Wald kam, Da fand sie einen [verwund'ten]1 Knab'n. Der Knab', der war von Blut so rot, Und als sie sich verwandt, war er schon tot. "Wo krieg' ich nun zwei Leidfräulein, Die mein fein's [Lieb]2 zu Grabe wein'n? Wo krieg' ich nun sechs Reuterknab'n, Die mein fein's [Lieb]2 zu Grabe trag'n? Wie lang' soll ich denn [trauern]3 geh'n? Bis alle Wasser zusammengeh'n? Ja, alle Wasser gehn nicht [zusamm'n]4, So wird mein [Trauern]5 kein Ende ha'n.

Una noia va decidir de llevar-se d’hora i anar a passejar per el verd boscatge. I quan ella arribà al verd boscatge, trobà un noi que estava ferit. El noi estava tot vermell de sang i quan ella s’hi atansà, ja era mort. “On puc trobar dues ploraneres per plorar a la tomba del meu estimat? On puc trobar sis joves cavallers que portin el meu estimat a la tomba? Quan de temps haig d’estar de dol? Fins que totes les aigües s’ajuntin? Sí, les aigües no s’ajuntaran i així el meu dol no tindrà fi.”
