Du Thurm! zu meinem Leide Ragst du so hoch empor, Und mahnest grausam immer An [sie, die]1 ich verlor. Sie hängt an einem Andern, Und wohnt im Weiler dort. Mein armes Herz verblutet, Vom schärfsten Pfeil durchbohrt. In ihren [braunen]2 Augen War keiner Untreu Spur; [Aus ihnen sprachen Liebe Und holde Anmuth]3 nur. Wohin ich [nun mich]4 wende - Der Thurm, er folget mir; O sagt' er, statt der Stunden, Was mich vernichtet, ihr!
Confirmed with Gedichte von Johann Mayrhofer. Wien. Bey Friedrich Volke. 1824, page 11.
Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.
1 Schubert: "das, was"2 Schubert: "schönen"
3 Schubert: "Ich sah der Liebe Himmel, / Der Anmut Spiegel"
4 Schubert: "mich nun"

Oh torre! Per la meva dolença t’alces tan amunt, i cruel, sempre em recordes aquella que vaig perdre. Ella està ara amb un altre i viu al poblet allà baix. El meu pobre cor es dessagna, travessat per la fletxa més punxent. En els seus formosos ulls, ni hi havia cap rastre d’infidelitat, jo només hi veia tot un cel d’amor, només un mirall de l’encís. Adés, onsevulla que vagi la torre em segueix; oh, si en lloc d’anunciar les hores, li digués a ella el que em va destruir!
