Gestorben war ich [Vor]1 Liebeswonne; Begraben lag ich In ihren Armen; [Erwecket]2 ward ich Von ihren Küßen; Den Himmel sah ich In ihren Augen.

2. Der schwere Abend  [sung text not yet checked]
Die [dunklen]1 Wolken hingen Herab so bang und schwer, Wir beide traurig gingen Im Garten hin und her. So [heiß und]2 stumm, so trübe [Und]3 sternlos war die Nacht, So ganz, wie unsre Liebe, Zu Tränen nur gemacht. Und als ich mußte scheiden Und gute Nacht dir bot, Wünscht' ich bekümmert beiden Im Herzen uns den Tod.

3. Schilflied  [sung text not yet checked]
Drüben [geht]1 die Sonne scheiden, Und der müde Tag entschlief. Niederhangen hier die Weiden In den Teich, so still, so tief. Und ich muß mein Liebstes meiden: Quill, o Träne, quill hervor! Traurig säuseln hier die Weiden, Und im Winde bebt das Rohr. [In mein stilles, tiefes Leiden Strahlst du, Ferne! hell und mild, Wie durch Binsen hier und Weiden Strahlt des Abendsternes Bild.]2
