Durch den Wald im Mondenscheine
Sah ich jüngst die Elfen reuten;
Ihre Hörner hört' ich klingen,
Ihre Glöckchen hört' ich läuten.
 
Ihre weißen Rößlein trugen
Güldnes Hirschgeweih und flogen
Rasch dahin; wie wilde Schwäne
Kam es durch die Luft gezogen.
 
Lächelnd nickte mir die Kön'gin,
Lächelnd im Vorüberreuten.
Galt das meiner neuen Liebe,
Oder soll es Tod bedeuten?
