Auf ein Kind (das mir eine ausgerissene Haarlocke vorwies)
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mein Kind, in welchem Krieg hast du
Die gelben Haare lassen müssen?
Ein Rosenzweig hat sie im Sprunge dir entrissen!
Du weißt es kaum und lachst dazu.
Gott gebe, daß in künftger Zeit
Nie kein Verlust, noch ander Leid
Dich bitterer im jungen Herzen
Als dieser leichte Raub mag schmerzen!

A propos d'un enfant (qui m'a montré une boucle de cheveux arrachée)
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Mon enfant, dans quel jeu guerrier as-tu
perdu cette boucle blonde ?
Une branche de rosier te l'aura arrachée dans un bond !
Tu n'en sais rien et tu t'en amuses.
Dieu veuille qu'à l'avenir
nulle perte ni peine
ne soit pour ton jeune cœur plus amère douleur
que cette légère ablation !
