Drüben [geht]1 die Sonne scheiden, Und der müde Tag entschlief. [Niederhangen]2 hier die Weiden In den Teich, so still, so tief. Und ich muß mein Liebstes meiden: Quill, o Thräne, quill hervor! Traurig säuseln hier die Weiden, Und im Winde bebt das Rohr. [In mein stilles, tiefes Leiden]3 [Strahlst du, Ferne! hell und mild]4, [Wie durch Binsen hier und Weiden Strahlt des Abendsternes Bild.]5

2. Trübe wird's, die Wolken jagen  [sung text not yet checked]
[Trübe]1 wird's, die Wolken jagen, Und der Regen niederbricht, Und die lauten Winde klagen: Teich, wo ist dein Sternenlicht? Suchen den erloschnen Schimmer Tief im aufgewühlten See. Deine Liebe lächelt nimmer Nieder in mein tiefes Weh!

3. Auf geheimem Waldespfade  [sung text not yet checked]
Auf geheimem Waldespfade Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein An das öde Schilfgestade, Mädchen, und gedenke dein! Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert, Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll, Und es klaget und es flüstert, Daß ich weinen, weinen soll. Und ich mein', ich höre wehen Leise deiner Stimme Klang, Und im Weiher untergehen Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

4. Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen  [sung text not yet checked]
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken [in]1 die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.

5. Sie liebten sich beide, doch keiner  [sung text not yet checked]
Sie liebten sich beide, doch keiner Wollt' es dem andern gestehn; Sie sahen sich an so feindlich, Und wollten vor Liebe vergehn. Sie trennten sich endlich und [sahn]1 sich Nur noch zuweilen im Traum; Sie waren [längst]2 gestorben Und wußten es selber kaum.
