Die Lotosblume ängstigt Sich vor der Sonne Pracht Und mit gesenktem Haupte Erwartet sie träumend die Nacht. Der Mond, [der]1 ist ihr Buhle Er weckt sie mit seinem Licht, Und ihm entschleiert sie freundlich Ihr [frommes]2 Blumengesicht, Sie blüht und glüht und leuchtet Und starret stumm in die Höh'; Sie duftet und weinet und zittert Vor Liebe und Liebesweh.

Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumte, du lägest im Grab. Ich wachte auf, und die Träne Floß noch von der Wange herab. Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumt', du verließest mich. Ich wachte auf, [und ich weinte]2 Noch lange bitterlich. Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumte, du [wär'st mir noch]3 gut. Ich wachte auf, und noch immer [Strömt meine Tränenflut]4.

Allnächtlich im Traume seh' ich dich Und sehe dich freundlich grüßen, Und laut aufweinend stürz' ich mich Zu deinen süßen Füßen. Du [siehst]1 mich an wehmütiglich Und schüttelst das blonde Köpfchen; Aus deinen Augen [schleichen sich Die Perlentränentröpfchen]2. Du [sagst]3 mir heimlich ein leises Wort Und gibst mir den Strauß von Zypressen. Ich wache auf, und der Strauß ist fort, [Und das]4 Wort hab' ich vergessen.
