Før drømte jeg fast hver eneste Nat, Jeg havde dit Hjerte vundet. Ak, hvor var Dagen da mørk og mat, Naar Muldet igen var svundet. Nu plager en Drøm mig saa tung og svær, Den at jeg dit Hjerte har mistet; O hvor er Dagen da lys og klar, Naar Mørket sig bort har listet.

Sonst träumt' ich wohl jedwede Nacht, Ich hätte dein Herz gewonnen: Ach, finster erschien mir des Tages Pracht, Wenn der selige Traum zerronnen. Nun quält mich allnächtlich ein Traumgesicht, Ich hätte dein Herz verloren; O wie scheint mir der Tag nun klar und licht Und mein Glück aufs neu geboren.
