Des Mondlichts bleiche Blüten, Die weißen Wunderrosen, Blühn in den Julinachten - O brach ich eine nur! Mein banges Leid zu lindern, Such ich am dunklen Strome Des Mondlichts bleiche Blüten, Die weißen Wunderrosen. Gestillt wär all mein Sehnen, Dürft ich so märchenheimlich, So selig leis - entblättern Auf deine brauenen Haare Des Mondlichts bleiche Blüten!

Månelysets bleike blomar, dei kvite mirakelrosene, blømer i den varme natta -- åh, om eg kunne plukke ei! Mi fæle smerte vil eg døyve ved den mørke flaumen; månelysets bleike blomar, dei kvite mirakelrosene. Mi store lengt ville slokne om eg ved ditt brune hår som i eit eventyr, i løynd kunne plukke med meg, stille, månelysets bleike blomar.
