Drüben [geht]1 die Sonne scheiden, Und der müde Tag entschlief. [Niederhangen]2 hier die Weiden In den Teich, so [still, so]3 tief. [Und]4 ich muß mein Liebstes meiden: Quill, o Thräne, quill hervor! Traurig [säuseln]5 hier die Weiden, Und im Winde bebt das Rohr. [In mein stilles, tiefes Leiden]6 [Strahlst du, Ferne! hell und mild]7, [Wie durch Binsen hier und Weiden Strahlt des Abendsternes Bild.]8

[Trübe]1 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!

Sonnenuntergang; Schwarze Wolken zieh'n, O wie schwül und bang Alle Winde flieh'n! Durch den Himmel wild Jagen Blitze bleich; Ihr vergänglich Bild Wandelt durch den Teich. [Wie Gewitter klar]1 Mein' ich Dich zu seh'n, Und dein langes Haar Frei im Sturme weh'n!

Leise deiner Stimme Klang,
Und im Weiher untergehen
Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

1 Sutermeister: "Stiller wird's. Ich"
Researcher for this text: Emily Ezust [Administrator]
Auf dem [Teich, dem Regungslosen,
Weilt]1 des Mondes holder Glanz,
Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen
In des Schilfes grünen Kranz.
[ ... ]
[Weinend muß]3 mein Blick sich senken;
Durch die tiefste Seele geht
Mir ein süßes Deingedenken,
Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.
