Und als ich so lange, so lange gesäumt, In fremden Landen geschwärmt und geträumt; Da ward meiner Liebsten zu lang die Zeit, Und sie nähete sich ein Hochzeitkleid, Und hat mit zärtlichen Armen umschlungen Als Bräut'gam den dümmsten der dummen Jungen. Mein Liebchen ist so schön und mild, Noch schwebt mir vor ihr süßes Bild; Die Veilchenaugen, die Rosenwänglein, Die glühen und blühen, jahraus, jahrein. Daß ich von solchem Lieb konnt weichen, War der dümmste von meinen dummen Streichen.

Et pendant que j'errais en pays étranger. Rêvassant et flânant, sans souci du danger, Ma mignonne trouva le temps long, et, coquette. Pour sa noce elle fit d'une robe l'emplette, Et choisit, l'embrassant des plus tendres façons, Pour son cher fiancé le plus sot des garçons. Ma mignonne est si belle et si douce! -- l'image De ces traits gracieux règne en moi sans partage, Et sa joue empourprée et l'azur de ses yeux Rajeunissent toujours en éclat radieux; -- Voyager, quand maîtresse aussi belle on courtise, Ce fut là le plus sot de mes traits de sottise.
