Oude bronnen, droog en leêg, Weder zult gij spruiten! Merel, die sinds eeuwen zweeg, Lustiger zult gij fluiten! Dorre tak op d'ouden boom, Groenende knoppen zult gij schieten! IJs en sneeuw - de Lente koom! Zilverig zullen de beken vlieten! Weerklank uit het Dietsch gemoed, Minnelust van knapen, meiden, - Volkslied! krachtvol als ons bloed, Frisch als 't luchtje in ons weiden; - Ouden zult gij jeugdigen moed, Jongen, machtigen hartstocht geven: Oud en jong, ten vromen groet, In mijn liederen zult ge 'erleven!

Alte Brunnen, lang versiegt, wieder sollt ihr fliessen! Nachtigall, im Grün gewiegt, neuen Sang ergiessen! Dürrer Zweig an altem Ast, neue Knospen sollst du treiben... Herz, beschwert von Kummers Last, neuen Lebenskreis beschreiben! * * * Klang, beseelt van deutscher Gluth, Minnelust von Mädchen, Knaben, Volkslied, stolz wie Meeres Fluth, freien Einzug sollt ihr haben; werdet Alten neues Blut, Jungen mächtige Sehnsucht geben. Alt und Jung, in Dichters Hut, sollt in frohen Liedern leben!
