Ehe wir uns trennen konnten, oh, wie hielt mich dein Gesicht, sahen wir noch Einmal, dicht, dicht an deinem mein Gesicht, in den Winterwald zurück, wo die Bäume sich noch sonnten, wo die Abendwolken prangten, wo ins feuergoldne Licht die verworrnen Zweige langten, und wir baten Gott um Glück.

Avant que de pouvoir nous séparer, ô, comme ton visage me retenait, nous revîmes encore une fois, serré, serré, mon visage contre le tien, dans la forêt hivernale, où les arbres prenaient encore le soleil, où les nuages du soir resplendissaient, où la lumière d'or et de feu attrapait les rameaux échevelés et où nous demandions le bonheur à Dieu.
