Belle source, belle source,
Je veux me rappeler sans cesse,
Qu'un jour, guidé par l'amitié
Ravi, j'ai contemplé ton visage, ô dèesse,
Perdu sous la mou, sous la mousse à moitié.
Que n'est-il demeuré, cet ami que je pleure,
O nymphe, à ton culte attaché,
Pour se mêler encore au souffle qui t'effleure,
Et répondre à ton flot caché?

Ländliches Lied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
Schöne Quelle, schöne Quelle,
Ich will es nie vergessen,
wie ich eines Tages, durch Freundschaft geleitet,
hingerissen, dein Gesicht bewunderte, oh Göttin,
verloren in der Schwüle, halbverborgen unter dem Moos.
Wo weilt er jetzt, der Freund den ich beweine,
Oh Nymphe, deinem Dienst verbunden,
mische ich mich wieder unter die Brise, die dich berührt,
und antwortet deinen verborgenen Fluten?
