Jeg vandred i lien så tung og så ene; de småfugle kvidred fra busker og grene; så listelig kvidred de sangere små: hør til, hvordan kærlighed monne opstå! Den vokser som eken i årene lange; den næres ved tanker og sorger og sange. Den spirer så let; i den flygtigste stund fæster den rødder i hjertets grund!

Ich wandelte sinnend allein auf der Halde Da zwitscherten ringsum die Vöglein im Walde. So hell erscholl ihr lustiges Lied. Hör'an, hör'an, wie die Liebe im Herzen erblüht! Sie wächst wie die eiche wohl Jahre lang, Sie nährt sich von Sorgen, von Traum und Gesang, Sie keimet geschwind in der flüchtigsten Stund' Faßet sie Wurzel im Herzensgrund!
