Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht, Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht Und neues Leben mir verspricht -- O, lüge nicht! Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt, So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild, Empor zu deinem holden Licht -- O, lüge nicht!

Es ragt ins Meer der Runenstein, da sitz' ich mit meinen Träumen. Es pfeift der Wind, die Möwen schrein, die Wellen, die wandern und schäumen. Ich habe geliebt manch schönes Kind und manchen guten Gesellen - Wo sind [sie]1 hin? Es pfeift der Wind, es schäumen und wandern die Wellen.

Schattenküsse, Schattenliebe, Schattenleben, wunderbar! Glaubst du Närrin, alles bliebe Unverändert ewig wahr? Was wir lieblich fest besessen Schwindet hin wie Träumerein; Und die Herzen, die vergessen, Und die Augen schlafen ein.
