Ich stand in [dunkeln]1 Träumen Und [starrte]2 ihr Bildniß an, Und das geliebte Antlitz Heimlich zu leben begann. Um ihre Lippen zog sich Ein Lächeln wunderbar, Und wie von Wehmuthsthränen [Erglänzte]3 [ihr]4 Augenpaar. Auch meine Thränen flossen Mir von [den Wangen]5 herab -- Und ach, ich [kann es]6 nicht glauben, Daß ich Dich verloren hab'!

3. Wenn ich an deinem Hause [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn ich an deinem Hause Des Morgens vorübergeh, So freuts mich, du liebe Kleine, Wenn ich dich am Fenster seh. Mit deinen schwarzbraunen Augen Siehst du mich forschend an: Wer bist du, und was fehlt dir, Du fremder, kranker Mann? "Ich in ein deutscher Dichter, Bekannt im deutschen Land; Nennt man die besten Namen, So wird auch der meine genannt. Und was mir fehlt, du Kleine, Fehlt manchem im deutschen Land; Nennt man die schlimmsten Schmerzen, So wird auch der meine genannt."
