Weil' auf mir, du dunkles Auge, Übe deine ganze Macht, Ernste, milde, [träumerische]1, Unergründlich süße Nacht! Nimm mit deinem Zauberdunkel Diese Welt von hinnen mir, Daß du über meinem Leben Einsam schwebest für und für.

1 Bolko von Hochberg: "zauberische"; Sjögren: "träumereiche"Linger on me, dark eyes - exert your entire power, somber, mild, dream-like, unfathomably sweet night. With your magic darkness take from me this world, so that above my life you alone will float forever and ever.
