Im Wald in grüner Runde, Wo Wipfel über Wipfel schaut, Auf stillem Wiesengrunde Hab' ich die Hütte mir gebaut; Sie steht, bewahrt vor Stürmen An graubemooster Felsenwand, Baumriesen sie umtürmen, Die schützen sie mit Freundeshand; Ins Fenster blüht die Rose, Die Rebe grünt hinauf zum Dach, Mit heimlichem Gekose Rauscht nah vorbei der Wiesenbach. Im Wald zur guten Stunde Hab' ich die Stätte mir erschaut, Und auf entlegnem Grunde Die traute Hütte mir [gebaut]1. Vom Frühroth angelächelt, Wie blickt ins Grün sie lebensfrisch! Vom Abendhauch umfächelt, Versinkt ins Thal sie träumerisch; Am Mittag hält von Zweigen Den Schirm ein Sohn des Walds ihr vor, Des Nachts umschlingt in Reigen Sie leis der Wiesen Elfenchor. Im Wald, in grüner Runde, Wo Wipfel über Wipfel schaut, Natur, in deinem Bunde Hab' ich die Hütte mir gebaut.

Al bosc, envoltada de verdor, on les capçades esguarden damunt altres capçades, al terreny d’una tranquil•la prada, he construït la meva cabana; ella, protegida de tempestes, és al costat d’una paret de roca, gris i molsosa, arbres gegants s’alcen al seu entorn i la resguarden amb mans amicals; a la finestra floreixen les roses, la parra creix vers la teulada, a prop, amb furtives carícies, corre mormolant el rierol de la prada. Al bosc, en un moment favorable, he trobat per a mi aquest indret, i en aquest terreny remot, m’he construït l’estimada cabana. Amb el somriure de l’alba, com esguarda fresca i vivaç vers la verdor! Ventada per l’hàlit del capvespre, s’enfonsa somiant vers la vall; a migdia, li fa de para-sol el brancam d’un fill del bosc, de nit, l’envolta suau la rotllana dansant del cor dels elfs de la prada. Al bosc, envoltada de verdor, on les capçades esguarden damunt altres capçades, natura, en la teva aliança, m’he construït la cabana.
