Der Müller. Wo ein treues Herze In Liebe vergeht, Da welken die Lilien Auf jedem Beet. Da muß in die Wolken Der Vollmond gehn, Damit seine Thränen Die Menschen nicht sehn. Da halten die Englein Die Augen sich zu, Und schluchzen und singen Die Seele [zu]1 Ruh'. Der Bach. Und wenn sich die Liebe Dem Schmerz entringt, Ein Sternlein, ein neues, Am Himmel erblinkt. Da springen drei Rosen, Halb [roth,]2 halb weiß, Die welken nicht wieder, Aus Dornenreis. Und die Engelein schneiden Die Flügel sich ab, Und gehn alle Morgen Zur Erde [hinab]3. Der Müller. Ach, Bächlein, liebes Bächlein, Du meinst es so gut: Ach, Bächlein, aber weißt du, Wie Liebe thut? Ach, unten, da unten, Die kühle Ruh'! Ach, Bächlein, liebes Bächlein, So singe nur zu.
W. Taubert sets stanzas 1-3

O Moleiro: Quando um coração fiel Esmaece por amor, Então os lírios murcham Em todos os canteiros; Então a lua cheia tem que Ir para trás das nuvens, Para que suas lágrimas Não sejam vistas pela humanidade; Então os anjinhos fecham Os seus olhos E soluçam e cantam Essa alma para o seu descanso. O Rio: E quando o amor Se livra da dor, Uma pequena estrela, um nova, Pisca no céu; Então três rosas, Metade vermelhas e metade brancas, Que nunca murcham, Saltam dos rebentos espinhosos. E os anjinhos cortam Suas próprias asas E vêm todas as manhãs Aqui para baixo na terra. O Moleiro: Ah, riacho, querido riacho, Você o diz muito bem: Ah, riacho, mas você sabe Como é que o amor procede? Ah, embaixo, bem lá embaixo O frio repouso! Ah, riacho, querido riacho, Somente cante para mim.
