Ich geh nicht allein, mein feines Lieb, Du mußt mit mir wandern Nach der lieben, alten, schaurigen Klause, In dem trüben, kalten, traurigen Hause, Wo meine Mutter am Eingang kaurt Und auf des Sohnes Heimkehr laurt. "Laß ab von mir, du finstrer Mann! Wer hat dich gerufen? Dein Odem glüht, deine Hand ist Eis, Dein Auge sprüht, deine Wang ist weiß; - Ich aber will mich lustig freun An Rosenduft und Sonnenschein." Laß duften die Rosen, laß scheinen die Sonn, Mein süßes Liebchen! Wirf um den weiten, weißwallenden Schleier, Und greif in die Saiten der schallenden Leier, Und singe ein Hochzeitslied dabei; Der Nachtwind pfeift die Melodei.

Je ne vais pas seul, mon bel amour, Il faut que tu viennes avec moi, Vers la chère, vieille, lugubre cellule, Dans la grise, froide, triste maison Où ma mère est accroupie près de l'entrée Et guette le retour de son fils . « Laisse-moi tranquille, sombre individu ! Qui t'a appelé ? Ton haleine brûle, ta main est glacée, Tes yeux fulminent, ta joue est blanche ; Mais moi, je veux joyeusement profiter Du parfum des roses et de la lumière du soleil. -- Laisse les roses embaumer, laisse luire le soleil, Mon doux amour ! Enveloppe-toi de ce voile blanc, large et flottant, Et saisis-toi des cordes de cette lyre sonore, Et chante un épithalame ; Le vent de la nuit sifflera la mélodie. »
