In einsamen Stunden drängt Wehmut sich auf, Da brechen die Wunden, die alten, mir auf. O lass sie nur bluten, sie schmerzen nicht sehr; Als du sie geschlagen, da schmerzten sie mehr! Ob du es bereuest, was du mir getan, Mit andern dich freuest, was geht es mich an? Was auch du beginnest, vorbei ist die Pein, Ich kann dir nicht zürnen, kann dir nur verzeihn.

In eenzame uren dringt weemoed zich op, Dan spelen de wonden, de oude, mij op. O, laat ze maar bloeden, ze doen niet erg zeer; Toen jij ze mij toebracht, toen brandden zij meer! Of jij het je aantrekt, wat jij hebt gedaan, Met and'ren nu feest viert, wat gaat het mij aan? Wat ook je maar uitspookt, voorbij is mijn pijn, Ik kan jou niet haten, mild slechts voor je zijn.
