Lay a garland on her hearse

Maidens, willow branches wear,
say she died true.
Her love was false, but she was firm
[from her hour of birth.]
Upon her buried body lie
lightly, thou gentle earth.

Legt den Kranz von dunkler Eibe
sachte auf ihr Grab;
Weidenzweige bringt, ihr Mädchen,
sagt, wie treu sie starb.
Untreu war ihr Lieb, doch sie war
aufrecht immerzu.
Ihren Leib, o Erde, bette
sanft zur ew'gen Ruh.
