+{{LinkText|Orpheus with his lute}}
-Orpheus with his lute made trees
-And mountain tops that freeze
-Bow themselves when he did sing;
-To his music plants and flowers
-Ever sprung, as sun and showers
-There had made a lasting spring;
-Everything that heard him play,
-Even the billows of the sea
-Hung their heads and then lay by.
-In sweet music is such art,
-Killing care and grief of heart.
-Fall asleep, or hearing, die.}}
-{{Translation|German|
-Orpheus’ Laute hieß die Wipfel
-wüster Berge kalte Gipfel,
-niedersteigen, wenn er sang.
-Pflanz’ und Blüt’ und Frühlingssegen
-sprosst, als folgten Sonn’ und Regen
-Ewig nur dem Wunderklang.
-Alle Wesen, so ihn hörten,
-Wogen selbst, die sturmempörten,
-neigten still ihr Haupt herab.
-Solche Macht ward süßen Tönen;
-Herzensweh und tödlich Sehnen
-wiegten sie in Schlaf und Grab.}}
