Nu dala från träden de snövita blad, som vaggat sig trötta i vinden. Äppelblom, körsbärsblom, se, nymånan stiger! Se gossen och flickan, som nalkas så tyst i skuggorna borta vid spången, måne ny, måneskär! Tre gånger hon niger. Som klängrosens hänge så frisk hennes kind. Men tafatt, med mössan i näven, måne ny, måne kär, står pojken och tiger. Och natten förrinner och allting blir tyst och bort dra de älskande paren. Måne ny, måne tunn från himmelen bliger.
