Ich weiß nicht mehr wie alles kam, Nur daß ich stummen Abschied nahm Und stumm aus deinem Garten ritt Und daß ich seither alle Qual Der Eifersucht und Reue litt. Und das ich trostlos mich vermaß, Auf unsre Liebe allen Haß Und allen feilen Hohn zu häufen, Und daß ich dennoch heimlich ging Mein Leid im Becher zu ersäufen. Darüber rann die schnelle Zeit; In lichten Schleiern jahreweit Liegt unser Sommertraum dahinten, Und ist nicht Tor noch Brücke mehr Den Weg dahin zurück zu finden.

No sé pas com tot això s’esdevingué, tan sols que mut em vaig acomiadar i mut vaig sortir del teu jardí a cavall i que des d’aleshores he sofert tots els turments de la gelosia i el remordiment. I que, desconsolat, no vaig gosar d’acumular tot aquest odi i tot aquest venal escarni damunt el nostre amor, i que, tot i això, secretament vaig anar a ofegar les meves penes en una copa. Damunt de tot, el temps passà de pressa; el vel lleuger dels anys passats cobreix el nostre somni d’estiu, i ja no hi ha cap porta o pont per retrobar el camí de retorn.
