Auf ihrem Leibrößlein So weiß wie der Schnee, Die schönste Prinzessin [Reit't]1 durch die Allee. Der Weg, den das Rößlein Hintanzet so hold, Der Sand, den ich streute, Er [blinket]2 wie Gold! Du rosenfarbs Hütlein Wohl auf und wohl ab, O wirf eine Feder, Verstohlen herab! Und willst du dagegen Eine Blüte von mir, Nimm tausend für eine, Nimm alle dafür!

On her favorite pony as white as snow, the fairest princess rides down the avenue. On the path down which her steed so finely prances, the sand that I strewed there glitters like gold! You rose-colored little hat, bobbing up and down, O toss a feather stealthily down! And if, for that, you would like a little flower from me, take a thousand for one - take all of them!
