Es steht mein Lied in Nacht und Frost, Die alles Leben tödten, Und harrt vergebens, ob der Ost Nicht wieder mag erröthen. So steht es nun ein ganzes Jahr In dieser Nacht, der kalten, Und dennoch grünt's noch immerdar, Wer hat es wohl erhalten ? Du nicht, du nicht, von aller Welt Bewundert und beneidet. Der hat's getan, der auf dem Feld Die Lilien [bekleidet]1.

La meva cançó rau en la nit i el fred que maten tota la vida, i espera endebades que a llevant no hi torni a envermellir. Així he restat ara fa un any sencer en aquesta nit freda, i tanmateix verdeja sempre encara, qui ho ha pogut preservar? No pas tu, no pas tu, per tot el món admirada i envejada. Qui ho ha fet, és qui als camps els lliris vesteix.
