Treue Liebe dauert lange, Überlebet manche Stund', Und kein Zweifel macht sie bange, Immer bleibt ihr Mut gesund. Dräuen gleich in dichten Scharen, Fordern gleich zum Wankelmut Sturm und Tod, setzt den Gefahren Lieb' entgegen, treues Blut. Und wie Nebel stürzt zurücke, Was den Sinn gefangen hält Und dem heitern Frühlingsblicke Öffnet sich die weite Welt. Errungen, Bezwungen Von Lieb' ist das Glück, Verschwunden Die Stunden, Sie fliehen zurück; Und selige Lust, Sie stillet, Erfüllet Die trunkene, wonneklopfende Brust; Sie scheide Von Leide Auf immer, Und nimmer Entschwinde die liebliche, selige, himmlische Lust!
F. Hensel sets stanzas 1-3

Un amour fidèle dure longtemps, Il survit à de nombreuses heures, Il ne s'alarme d'aucun doute, Il garde toujours sa ferme résolution. Tempête et mort, pareilles à des hordes serrées, Menacent, requièrent l'inconstance Un cœur fidèle oppose l'amour À ces dangers. Et comme un brouillard, retombe Ce qui a tenu prisonnier les sens, Et sous le radieux regard du printemps, Le vaste monde s'ouvre. Conquérir, Apprivoiser, Sont les joies de l'amour. Disparues, Ces heures. Elles reviennent Avec une joie bienheureuse. Elle calme, Emplit Le cœur enivré qui bat de félicité ; Elle éloigne Les peines, Pour toujours. Et plus jamais Ne disparaîtra la tendre, heureuse, céleste joie !
