Die Lor' sitzt im Garten, Kehrt den Rücken zumal Und verbirgt mir der Augen Himmlischen Strahl. Ihr goldbrauner Haarwuchs Weht über den Zaun; Den Rotmund, das Weisskinn Doch lässt sie nicht schaun. Sie lässet erklingen Ihrer Stimme Getön; O du boshafte Hexe, Wie klingt es so schön!

Lori est assise dans le jardin, Elle me tourne le dos Et me cache Le céleste rayon de ses yeux. Sa chevelure mordorée Flotte au-dessus de la clôture ; Sa bouche rouge, sa peau blanche, Elle ne les laisse pas voir. Elle fait entendre Le son de sa voix ; Ô méchante sorcière, Comme elle sonne bien !
