Was will die einsame Träne? Sie trübt mir ja den Blick. Sie blieb aus alten Zeiten In meinem Auge zurück. Sie hatte viel leuchtende Schwestern, Die alle zerflossen sind, Mit meinen Qualen und Freuden Zerflossen in Nacht und Wind. Wie Nebel sind auch zerflossen Die blauen Sternelein, Die mir [jene]1 Freuden und Qualen Gelächelt ins Herz hinein. Ach, meine Liebe selber Zerfloß wie eitel Hauch! Du alte, einsame Träne, Zerfließe jetzunder auch!

Leise [zieht]1 durch mein Gemüt Liebliches Geläute, Klinge, kleines Frühlingslied, Kling hinaus ins Weite. [Kling]2 hinaus bis an das Haus, Wo die [Blumen]3 sprießen, Wenn du eine Rose schaust, Sag, ich laß sie grüßen.
