Kom, du sorgsna nordan; Varje gång du kommer. Bär du bud från henne. Kommer du i fläkten. Bär du hennes suckar; Kommer du i ilen. Bär du hennes klagan; Kommer du i stormen. Bär du hennes verop: "Ve mig, edsförgätna. Ve mig, ensam blevna! Ur den gamles armar, Från hans kalla kyssar, O, vem för mig åter Till min varma yngling, Till min första kärlek!"

Tule, surullinen pohjatuuli! Joka kerta, kun tulet, tuot viestin häneltä. Kun tulet henkäyksenä, kannat hänen huokauksiaan; kun tulet vihurina, kannat hänen valitustaan; kun tulet myrskynä, kannat hänen tuskanhuutoaan: "Voi minua, valapattoa, voi minua yksinjäänyttä! Voi, vanhuksen sylistä, hänen kylmien suudelmiensa ulottuvilta, voi, kuka veisi minut takaisin lämpöisen nuorukaiseni luo, ensimmäisen rakkauteni luo!"
