Sie wandeln durch des Waldes Grün. Vögel singen und Blumen blühn. Ein blasser Mann und ein stilles Kind. Sie schlürfen durstig den Frühlingswind. Und der Knabe [bleibt]1 verwundert stehn: "Ich glaub', ich kann die Mutter sehn." Sie starren in das junge Grün . . . Vögel singen und Blumen blühn.

Ils se promènent à travers la forêt verte, Les oiseaux chantent et les fleurs fleurissent. Un homme pâle et un enfant silencieux, Assoiffés, ils boivent le vent du printemps. Et l'enfant reste étonné "Je crois que je peux voir la mère." Ils regardent fixement dans l'herbe fraîche. Les oiseaux chantent et les fleurs fleurissent.
