Schlafloser Augen Leuchte, trüber Stern, Dess' tränengleicher Schein, unendlich fern, Das Dunkel nicht erhellt, nur mehr es zeigt, O wie dir ganz des Glück's Erinn'rung gleicht! So leuchtet längst vergang'ner Tage Licht: Es scheint, doch wärmt sein matter Schimmer nicht, Dem wachen Gram erglänzt die Luftgestallt, Hell, aber fern, klar, aber ach, wie kalt!

4. In der Fremde [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hör' [die]1 Bächlein rauschen Im Walde her und hin, Im Walde in dem Rauschen Ich weiß nicht, wo ich bin. Die Nachtigallen schlagen Hier in der Einsamkeit, Als wollten sie was sagen Von [der alten, schönen]2 Zeit. Die Mondesschimmer fliegen, Als [seh']3 ich unter mir Das Schloß im Thale liegen, [Und ist]4 doch so weit von hier! Als müßte in dem Garten Voll Rosen weiß und roth, [Meine]5 Liebste auf mich warten, Und ist [doch lange]6 todt.
