Ob sie meiner wohl gedenkt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ob sie meiner wohl gedenkt,
Nun von ihr ich losgerissen,
Ach, dieß Eine möcht' ich wissen:
Ob sie meiner noch gedenkt?!
Ob sie nach dem Pfad wohl blickt,
Den ich ging mit heißen Thränen,
Ob sie wohl mit leisem Sehnen
Nach dem öden Pfade blickt?
Ach, so zieh' in Gram versenkt
Weiter ich mit jedem Tage,
In dem Mund die bange Frage:
Ob sie meiner noch gedenkt?!

Confirmed with Johann N. Vogl, Lyrische Blätter, Wien: Bei Rohrmann und Schweigerd, 1836, page 139.
Notes: Lang has two settings of this text, with different changes in wording relating to the repetitions, as follows:
Stanza 1, line 1, word 5 becomes "gedenket" in the repetition of both versions, but in the first version only, it is "gedenket" the first time as well.
Stanza 1, line 4, word 4 ("noch") is "wohl" the first time in the second setting (only), but "noch" in the repetition.
Stanza 3, line 4, word 4 ("noch") is "wohl" the first time in the first setting, but "noch" when the text is repeated; and in the second setting, it is "wohl" only when repeated.

Does she perhaps think of me
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Does she perhaps think of me,
Now that I have been torn from her;
Ah, I would like to know this one thing:
Does she still think of me?!
Does she perhaps look toward the path
That I walked with hot tears,
Does she perhaps with quiet yearning
Look toward the desolate path?
Ah, thus I wander, sunk in misery,
Farther away with every day,
In my mouth the anxious question:
Does she still think of me?!
