Fetter grüne, du Laub, Am Rebengeländer Hier [mein Fenster herauf!]1 Gedrängter quellet, Zwillingsbeeren, und reifet Schneller und glänzend [voller]2! Euch brütet der Mutter Sonne Scheideblick, euch umsäuselt Des holden Himmels Fruchtende Fülle; Euch kühlet des Mondes Freundlicher Zauberhauch, Und euch betauen, ach! Aus diesen Augen Der ewig belebenden Liebe Voll schwellende Tränen.

Feuillage d'un vert généreux Sur la pergola de la vigne, Grimpe jusqu'à ma fenêtre ! Pressez-vous de grossir, Grains jumeaux, et mûrissez Plus vite pour briller davantage ! Notre père le soleil vous couve De ses derniers rayons, vous entoure De la plénitude fécondante Du ciel bénéfique ; Le souffle aimable et magique De la lune vous rafraîchit, Et, hélas ! De ces yeux Vous êtes couverts de rosée, Larmes foisonnantes D'un amour éternellement vivant.
