Seitdem dein Aug' in meines schaute, Und Liebe, wie vom Himmel her, Aus ihm auf mich herniedertaute, Was böte mir die Erde mehr? Ihr Bestes hat sie mir gegeben, Und von des Herzens stillem Glück Ward übervoll mein ganzes Leben Durch jenen einen Augenblick.

Sinds ooit jouw oog het mijne peilde, En liefde, als uit hemelsfeer, Onmiddellijk naar mij toe ijlde: Kon d’ aarde mij nog bieden meer? Het beste heeft zij mij gegeven; Van stil geluk in ’t hart kreeg ik Een overvloed mijn hele leven Door juist die ene ogenblik!
