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'!
