Eine Mühle seh ich [blicken]1 Aus den Erlen heraus, Durch Rauschen und Singen Bricht Rädergebraus. Ei willkommen, ei willkommen, Süßer Mühlengesang! Und das Haus, wie so traulich! Und die Fenster, wie blank! Und die Sonne, wie helle Vom Himmel sie scheint! Ei, Bächlein, liebes Bächlein, War es also gemeint?
J. Lang sets stanza 1

Je vois un moulin briller Parmi les aulnes, À travers le murmure et le chant Le grondement des roues fait irruption. Sois le bienvenu, sois le bienvenu, Doux chant du moulin ! Et la maison, comme elle est confortable, Et la fenêtre, comme elle est brillante ! Et le soleil, comme il brille Vivement dans le ciel. Petit ruisseau, cher petit ruisseau, Est-ce que tu voulais dire ?
