Ich irr in Tal und Hainen Bei kühler Abendstund, Ach, weinen möcht ich, weinen So recht aus Herzensgrund. Und alter Zeiten Grüßen Kam da, im Tal erwacht, Gleich wie von fernen Flüssen Das Rauschen durch die Nacht. Die Sonne ging hinunter, Da säuselt' kaum die Welt, Ich blieb noch lange munter Allein im stillen Feld.

J'erre dans la vallée et les bois À l'heure fraîche du soir, Ah, je voudrais pleurer, pleurer Du fond du cœur. Et le souvenir des anciens temps Arriva alors, éveillé dans la vallée, Pareil au chant dans la nuit De fleuves lointains. Le soleil se coucha, Le monde alors murmurait à peine, Je restai encore longtemps, en éveil, Seul dans la campagne silencieuse.
