Leise, rieselnder Quell, ihr wallenden, flispernden Pappeln,
Euer Schlummergeräusch wecket die Liebe nur auf.
Linderung sucht' ich bei euch, und sie zu vergessen, die Spröde;
Ach! und Blätter und Bach seufzen: [Elisa! mir zu.]1

De jongeman bij de bron
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Zachtjes ruisende bron! En wuivende, lisp'lende peppels!
Jullie sluimergeruis wakkert de liefde slechts aan.
Jullie vertroosting zocht ik, en haar te vergeten, de preutse.
Ach, maar blaad'ren en beek zuchten, Louise1, jou na!
