Schäferin, [o]1 wie haben Sie dich so süß begraben! Alle Lüfte haben gestöhnet, Maienglocken zu Grab dir getönet, Glühwurm wollte die Fackel tragen, Stern ihm selbst es tät versagen. Nacht ging schwarz in Trauerfloren, Und all ihre Schatten gingen in Chören Die Tränen wird dir das Morgenrot weinen, Und den Segen die Sonn' aufs Grab dir scheinen. Schäferin, ach, wie haben Sie dich so süß begraben!

Bergère, hélas, nous t'avons Si tendrement ensevelie. Tous les vents ont gémi, Les muguets ont tinté autour de ta tombe, Le vers luisant voulait porter le flambeau, L'étoile elle-même s'était récusée. La nuit noire vint en deuil Ainsi que le chœur de ses ombres, La rouge aurore te pleurera de ses larmes Et le soleil éclairera ta tombe de sa bénédiction. Bergère, hélas, nous t'avons Si tendrement ensevelie.
