Hier an der Bergeshalde Verstummet ganz der Wind; Die Zweige hängen nieder, Darunter sitzt das Kind. Sie sitzt in Thymiane, Sie sitzt in lauter Duft; Die blauen Fliegen summen Und blitzen durch die Luft. Es steht der Wald so schweigend, Sie schaut so klug darein; Um ihre braunen Locken Hinfließt der Sonnenschein. Der Kuckuck lacht von ferne, Es geht mir durch den Sinn: Sie hat die goldnen Augen Der Waldeskönigin.

Là, sur le versant de la montagne Le vent s'est tout à fait calmé ; les frondaisons pendent vers le sol, En-dessous une enfant est assise. Elle est assise dans le thym Elle est assise dans un pur parfum ; Des mouches bleues bourdonnent Et lancent des éclairs dans l'air. La forêt est si silencieuse, Elle s'y montre si sage ; Autour de ses boucles brunes Coule la lumière du soleil. Au loin rit le coucou, Et il me vient à l'esprit Qu'elle a les yeux d'or De la reine de la forêt.
