Siwy koniu, siwy koniu! Coś tak zadumany? Nie wiesz drogi, nie wiesz drogi Do mej ukochanej? Moja miła nas rzuciła, Nie wyrzekłszy słowa; Jak nie znajdziem do niej drogi Zginąć nam gotowa. Siwy koniu, siwy koniu, Ciężko tobie będzie: Przegonimy wiatr, co wieje, Nie spoczniemy w pędzie. Siwy koniu, siwy koniu, Ciężej sercu memu. Bo straciło już nadzieję -- Samo nie wie czemu!
Confirmed with El...y (Adam Asnyk). Pisma. Tom II, Warszawa, Nakład Gebethnera i Wolffa, 1898, page 229.

Treues Rösslein, treues Rösslein, Heute gilt's zu spüren, Welche Pfade, welche Pfade Mich zur Liebsten führen! Ach, sie hat uns schnöd' verlassen, Ihr Herz mitgenommen; Findst du nicht die rechten Pfade, Wird sie uns entkommen. Treues Rösslein, treues Rösslein, Groß sind deine Lasten, Musst die Winde überholen, Darfst nicht ruh'n, nicht rasten. Treues Rösslein, treues Rösslein, Größer sind die Schmerzen, Die nach letztem Hoffnungsschimmer Nagen mir am Herzen.
