Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken in die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.

Sur l'étang, immobile, S'étend l'éclat délicat de la lune Tissant ses pâles roses Dans la verte couronne des roseaux. Des cerfs passent là-bas sur la colline; Levant le regard vers la nuit; Parfois des oiseaux s'agitent, Rêveurs, au sein des joncs. En pleurant, je dois abaisser mon regard; Au plus profond de mon âme passe Une douce pensée de toi Comme une silencieuse prière nocturne.
