Am frischgeschnittnen Wanderstab, Wenn ich in der Frühe So [durch]1 Wälder ziehe, Hügel auf und ab: Dann, wie's Vöglein im Laube Singet und sich rührt, Oder wie die goldne Traube Wonnegeister spürt In der ersten Morgensonne: So fühlt auch mein alter, lieber Adam Herbst und Frühlingsfieber, Gottbeherzte, Nie verscherzte Erstlings-Paradiseswonne. Also bist du nicht so schlimm, o alter Adam, wie die strengen Lehrer sagen; Liebst und lobst du immer doch, Singst und preisest immer noch, Wie an ewig neuen Schöpfungstagen, Deinen lieben Schöpfer und Erhalter. Möcht' es dieser geben Und mein ganzes Leben Wär' im leichten Wanderschweiße Eine solche Morgenreise!

Amb un bastó acabat de tallar, quan, de bon matí camino travessant els boscos, amunt i avall dels tossals: llavors, com l’ocell al brancatge que canta i es belluga, o, com el raïm daurat que percep l’esperit de la joia als primers raigs del sol: així percebia també el meu vell, estimat Adam la febre de la tardor i la primavera, divinament ardida, i mai presa a la lleugeresa, primera delícia del paradís. Així doncs, tu no ets pas tan dolent, oh vell Adam, com diuen els mestres severs; tu estimes i lloes encara, cantes i enalteixes encara, com si eternament fos el primer dia de la Creació, al teu estimat Creador i Protector. Voldria que això es donés i que tota la meva vida amb una lleugera suada, fos com la passejada d’aquest matí.
