Pierrot! Mein Lachen Hab ich verlernt! Das Bild des Glanzes Zerfloß - Zerfloß! Schwarz weht die Flagge Mir nun vom Mast. Pierrot! Mein Lachen Hab ich verlernt! O gieb mir wieder, Roßarzt der Seele, Schneemann der Lyrik, Durchlaucht vom Monde, Pierrot - mein Lachen!

Pierrot ! Mon rire, Je l'ai oublié ! L'éclat de l'image S'est dissoute, dissoute ! Le pavillon flotte, noir, Maintenant à mon mât. Pierrot ! Mon rire, Je l'ai oublié ! Oh, rends-le moi, Vétérinaire de l'âme, Bonhomme de neige de la poésie, Altesse de la lune, Pierrot -- Mon rire !
