Du holde Kunst, in wie viel grauen Stunden, Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt, Hast du mein Herz zu [warmer]1 Lieb entzunden, Hast mich in eine beßre Welt entrückt. Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf entflossen, Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir, Den Himmel [beßrer Zeiten]2 mir erschlossen, Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür.
Lieder , opus 2

The poem has not been published in print. Schubert received Schober's text in manuscript form; this manuscript has not been preserved, but a later autograph (with some differences) is kept with the Vienna City Library.

2. Wenn zwei von einander scheiden [sung text not yet checked]
Wenn zwei von einander scheiden, So geben sie sich die Händ', Und fangen an zu weinen, Und seufzen ohne End'. Wir haben nicht [geweinet]1, Wir seufzten nicht Weh und Ach! Die [Tränen und die Seufzer]2, Die kamen hinten nach.
