Der Morgen blüht; Der Osten glüht; Es lächelt aus dem dünnen Flor Die Sonne matt und krank hervor. Denn ach, mein Liebling flieht! Auf welcher Flur, Auf wessen Spur, So fern von Iden wallst du itzt, O du, der ganz mein Herz besitzt, Du Liebling der Natur? Vernimmst du auch Im Morgenhauch Das Ach, das Idens Brust entächzt, Das Sehnen, drinn ihr Herz zerlechzt, Im kühlen Morgenhauch? Was [ahnest]1 du, Der Idens Ruh Und Idens Freuden mit sich nahm? Ach, [ahnest]1 du wohl Idens Gram, Und flehst für Idens Ruh? O kehre um! Kehr' um, kehr' um! Zu deiner Einsamtraurenden! Zu deiner [Ahnungschaurenden]2! Mein Einziger, kehr' um!

Morning is blossoming, The East is glowing; Smiling out of the fine veil of mist Is the sun, languid and sickly. Because, oh no, my darling has fled! On which field, In whose traces, Are you now wandering, so far from Ida, Oh you, who own all of my heart, You darling of nature? Can you also hear In the morning breath The sigh which Ida's breast emits, The longing that is craving within her heart In the cool breath of the morning? What awareness do you have Of Ida's rest And of Ida's joy, which you have taken with you? And can you really sense Ida's grief, And do you plead for Ida to find rest? Oh, come back! Turn back, come back! To your sad lonely one! To your Ida as she recoils in dread! My only one, come back!
