Confirmed with Theodor Storm, Gesammelte Werke in vier Bänden. Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Walther Herrmann. Erster Band. Gedichte / Erzählungen, Verlag von Philipp Reclam jun., Leipzig, 1895, page 168, in Immensee, with no title.

Note: Since this poem appears in the middle of a prose text, it could be that this is a quotation of someone else's poem, but most anthologies attribute it to Storm himself. Reger SW lists this as "Dichter[in] unbekannt" (unknown poet). The text is sometimes included in anthologies as "Lied des Harfenmädchens".
