Nehmt meinen Dank
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT FRE LIT
Nehmt meinen Dank, ihr holden Gönner!
So feurig, als mein Herz ihn spricht,
Euch laut zu sagen, können Männer,
Ich, nur ein Weib, vermag es nicht.
Doch glaubt, ich werd' in meinem Leben
Niemals vergessen eure Huld;
Blieb' ich, so wäre mein Bestreben,
Sie zu verdienen, doch Geduld!

Von Anbeginn war stetes Wandern
Der Musen und der Künstler Los;
Mir geht es so wie allen Andern,
Fort aus des Vaterlandes Schoss
Seh' ich mich von dem Schicksal leiten.
Doch glaubt es mir, in jedem Reich,
Wohin ich geh', zu allen Zeiten
Bleibt immerdar mein Herz bei Euch.

Acceptez mes remerciements
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Acceptez mes remerciements, aimables mécènes !
L'ardeur avec laquelle mon cœur vous répond,
Les hommes pourraient vous la dire à voix haute,
Moi, qui ne suis qu'une femme, je ne le peux pas.
Mais croyez, dans ma vie
Jamais je n'oublierai vos bienfaits ;
Si je restais , mon désir serait
De les mériter toujours, mais patience !

Depuis le début, voyager incessamment
Est le lot des muses et des artistes ;
À moi comme aux autres
Aller hors du sein de la patrie
J'y suis conduite par le destin.
Mais croyez qu'en quelque pays
Que j'aille, en tous temps,
Mon cœur restera toujours près de vous.
