Wohin, o Bächlein, schnelle? „Hinab ins Tal.” Verhalte deine Welle! „Ein andermal.” Was treibt dich so von hinnen? „Ei, hielt ich je?” Willst du nicht ruh'n und sinnen? „Ja, dort im See.” Bist du schon gram der Erden? „Ich eile zu.” Du wirst schon still werden! „Nicht minder du.”

Minne riennät, puroseni? "Alas laaksoon." Pidättele juoksuasi! "Joku toinen kerta." Mikä sinua sinne alas vetää? "Hei, en kai minä koskaan pysy paikallani?" Etkö tahtoisi levätä ja miettiä? "Kyllä, mutta vasta tuolla järvessä." Vihaatko maata? "Minulla on kiire." Kyllä sinäkin vielä pysähdyt! "Aivan niinkuin sinäkin."
