Hörst du nicht die Bäume rauschen Draußen durch die stille Rund? Lockts dich nicht, hinabzulauschen Von dem Söller in den Grund, Wo die vielen Bäche gehen Wunderbar im Mondenschein Wo die stillen Schlösser sehen In den Fluß vom hohen Stein? Kennst du noch die irren Lieder Aus der alten, schönen Zeit? Sie erwachen alle wieder Nachts in Waldeseinsamkeit, Wenn die Bäume träumend lauschen Und der Flieder duftet schwül Und im Fluß die Nixen rauschen - Komm herab, hier ist's so kühl.

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".
