Bei dem angenehmsten Wetter singen alle Vogelein, klatscht der Regen auf die Blätter, sing ich so für mich allein. Denn mein Aug' kann nichts entdecken, wenn der Blitz auch grausam glüht, was im Wandern könnt' erschrecken ein zufriedenes Gemüt. Frei vom Mammon will ich schreiten auf dem Feld der Wissenschaft, sinne ernst und nehm' zu Zeiten einen Mund voll Rebensaft. Bin ich müde vom Studieren, wann der Mond tritt sanft herfür, pfleg' ich dann zu musizieren vor der Allerschönsten Tür.

In the most pleasant weather all the little birds sing, but when the rain is slapping the leaves, I sing alone and for myself. For my eyes can discover nothing, when lightning flashes so cruelly, that could appall in its travel a truly contented mind. Free from Mammon will I walk on the fields of knowledge, thinking seriously and taking, time to time, a mouth full of grapejuice. When I grow weary of study, when the moon steps softly out, I'll go to make music in front of my beloved's door.
