Viele Glocken hör' ich läuten, Nun es Abend werden will -- Eine nur will nimmer klingen, Eine nur ist ewig still. Tiefe Glocke meines Glückes: Einmal noch zur Abendzeit Singe über meinem Hügel Jenes Lied voll Seligkeit. Dem ich meine junge Stirne Lauschend einst empor gewandt, Da ich noch auf hellen Wegen Schritt an meines Liebsten Hand.
Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 40.

I hear many bells ringing Now that evening falls -- Only one never wishes to sound, Only one is eternally silent. Deep bell of my happiness: Once more at eventide Sing over my burial mound That song full of bliss. To which I once lifted My young brow harkening, When I still walked upon bright pathways At the hand of my beloved.
