Was doch heut Nacht ein Sturm gewesen, Bis erst der Morgen sich geregt! Wie hat der ungebetne Besen Kamin und Gassen ausgefegt! Da kommt ein Mädchen schon die Straßen, Das halb verschüchtert um sich sieht; Wie Rosen, die der Wind zerblasen, So unstet ihr Gesichtchen glüht. Ein schöner Bursch tritt ihr entgegen, Er will ihr voll Entzücken nahn: Wie sehn sich freudig und verlegen Die ungewohnten Schelme an! Er scheint zu fragen, ob das Liebchen Die Zöpfe schon zurecht gemacht, Die heute Nacht im offnen Stübchen Ein Sturm in Unordnung gebracht. Der Bursche träumt noch von den Küßen, Die ihm das süße Kind getauscht, [Er steht,]1 von Anmut hingerissen, Derweil sie um die Ecke rauscht.

Quel orage cette nuit, jusqu'au petit matin ! Comme ce coup de balai inattendu a tout nettoyé, cheminées et ruelles ! Voici qu'arrive une gamine qui regarde autour d'elle, un peu intimidée ; comme les roses que le vent malmène, son visage a des ardeurs fugaces. Un beau petit gars vient vers elle et s'approche, enchanté : comme ils se regardent avec un plaisir mêlé de gêne ces petits fripons sans expérience ! Ne va-t-il pas demander à l'aimée si elle a déjà remis en ordre les nattes mises à mal par l'orage de la nuit dans la chambrette ouverte ? Le tourtereau rêve encore aux baisers qu'il a échangés avec la douce enfant. Il reste là, sous le charme, tandis qu'elle s'esbigne au coin de la rue.
