Horch! wie zaub'risch klingen die Chorgesänge,
Die vom Bühl her über die Wasser zittern!
Lust der Wehmuth ahtmet in jedem Tone, --
Cosima, schläfst du?
Milder Nachtthau rieselt durch Laub und Blüthen,
Wie der Anmuth Thräne von dunkler Wimper.
Holder Wohllaut träufelt in jeder Perle, --
Cosima, schläfst du?
Ach! ein Gluthstrom heiliger Liebeswogen
Schwellt das Herz mir, wonnige Maid von Capri!
Trunkne Sehnsucht lodert in jedem Pulsschlag, --
Cosima, schläfst du?
