Wie Blätter am Baum,
Wie Blumen vergeh'n -

Deckt das Grab,
Was das Leben
Liebes gab!

Oh Schwester, tief beklagt!

Wir werfen in dein frühes Grab
Die Blumen betend still hinab.-

Schmerz ging mit uns ans Grab hinaus,
Schmerz geht mit uns ins Trauerhaus!

Come foglie sul ramo
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Coro:
Come foglie sul ramo,
come fiori appassiti
come lanugine di fiore
soffiata via dal vento
così rapido passa
il maggio della vita,
e prima di esserne consapevoli,
già copre la tomba
tutto ciò che la vita
ci aveva donato di più caro.
Rosa:
O povera sorellina, tanto rimpianta!
Coro:
Noi deponiamo sulla fresca sepoltura
questi fiori in silenziosa preghiera.
Il seppellitore:
Ti sia lieve la terra!
Coro:
Alla terra restituiamo te,
che fosti nostra gioia e nostra speranza!
Rosa:
Riposa in pace!
Coro:
Il dolore ci ha accompagnato fino a questa tomba,
il dolore ci è accanto nella dimora del pianto!
Rosa:
Riposa in pace!
