Un vago mormorío mi giunge: muta, rimango ad origliare, e'l cor tremante una dolce speranza risaluta. Ahi, mi par di vederlo a me d'innate! Ma'l mormorío che m'ha portato'l vento è sussurro di rami e non d'amor! L'inganno è già svanito d'un momento: torno a piangere ancor! Lambisce'l capo mio gentil carezza, e mi riscote e turba i sensi miei: de la sua man la tepida dolcezza parmi sentir, come ne' giorni bei. Ma l'aleggiar che'l crine m'a sfiorato è carezza d'auretta e non d'amor! L'inganno d'un istante è dileguato: torno a piangere ancor!...

Undeutlich Gemurmel dringt an mein Ohr: stumm verweil’ ich zu horchen, und das zitternde Herz grüßt eine süße Hoffnung aufs Neue: ach, mir ist als säh‘ ich ihn lebend vor mir! Doch das vom Wind hergewehte Gemurmel ist das Geflüster der Zweige, nicht das der Liebe! Verflogen schon ist diese plötzliche Täuschung: die Tränen kehren mir wieder!... Es streift eine zarte Liebkosung mein Haupt und rüttelt mich auf und erschreckt meine Sinne: Mir ist, als würd’ ich die süße Wärme verspüren von seiner Hand, wie in besseren Tagen! Doch der Lufthauch, welcher mein Haar berührt, ist das Streicheln des Windes, nicht das der Liebe! Des Augenblicks Täuschung ist mir zerflossen... die Tränen kehren mir wieder!...
