Eine Mühle seh ich [blicken]1 [Aus]2 den Erlen heraus, Durch Rauschen und Singen Bricht Rädergebraus. Ei willkommen, ei willkommen, Süßer Mühlengesang! Und das Haus, wie so traulich! Und die Fenster, wie blank! Und die Sonne, wie helle Vom Himmel sie scheint! Ei, Bächlein, liebes Bächlein, War es also gemeint?
J. Lang sets stanza 1

I see a mill looking Out from the alders; Through the roaring and singing Bursts the clatter of wheels. Hey, welcome, welcome! Sweet mill-song! And the house, so comfortable! And the windows, how clean! And the sun, how brightly it shines from Heaven! Hey, brooklet, dear brook, Was this, then, what you meant?
