Original text and translations

Dutch text 1. Een meisje teder zat bij 't beekje neder. Door diepe smart heur harte was bevangen. En 't suizend windje in 't riet wordt deelnoot van 't verdriet. 2. Haar eind'loos smeken deed heur wang verbleken. Ik ben alleen hier op de wijde wereld. Waarom, o dood, gemard. Kom, eindig mijne smart.

English translation 1. A girl, young in years, sat by the brook. Her heart was full of grief. The wind whispering in the reeds was privy to her sorrow. 2. Her long lament made her cheeks pale. 'I am alone in this wide world. Why, death, do you delay? Come, end my suffering.'
