Drüben geht 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 Thräne, 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.

Trübe wird's, die Wolken jagen, Und der Regen niederbricht, Und die lauten Winde klagen: Teich, wo ist dein Sternenlicht? Suchen den erloschnen Schimmer Tief im aufgewühlten See. Deine Liebe lächelt nimmer Nieder in mein tiefes Weh!
