Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen Aus Italiens alter Pantomime, Klingts herüber: wie Pierrot so holzern, So modern sentimental geworden. Und es tönt durch seines Herzens Wüste, Tönt gedämpft durch alle Sinne wieder, Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen Aus Italiens alter Pantomime. Da vergißt Pierrot die Trauermienen! Durch den bleichen Feuerschein des Mondes, Durch des Lichtmeers Fluten - schweift die Sehnsucht Kühn hinauf, empor zum Heimathimmel Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen!

Kjærleg klagande -- som eit sukk av krystall i gammal sydlandsk pantomimestil, kling det over hit: så klossete han er blitt, Pierrot; så moderne, sentimental! Og det tonar i hans hjartas fjerne avkrok ein dempa lyd gjennom alle sansar, kjærleg klagande -- som eit sukk av krystall i gammal sydlandsk pantomimestil Då gløymer Pierrot sørgjemaska! Gjennom månens bleike skin gjennom fløymande bølger av lys lyfter han seg lengtande til himmelheimen kjærleg klagande -- som eit sukk av krystall!
