Translation by Johann Diederich Gries (1775 - 1842)

In stillen Fantasieen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
In stillen Fantasieen
Sitz' ich am Wiesenbach;
Und wie die Wellen fliehen, 
Fliehn meine Seufzer nach; 
Ihr schnell entflohnen Stunden, 
Euch find' ich nimmer hier! 
Ihr schnell entflohnen Stunden, 
Warum, da ihr entschwunden, 
Blieb noch Erinn'rung mir! 

Ich ruf' euch nur vergebens,
Ihr kehret nie zurück; 
Im Lenze meines Lebens 
Schwand meines Lebens Glück. 
Ihr schnell entflohnen Stunden, 
Euch find' ich nimmer hier! 
Wohl seid ihr längst entschwunden, 
Doch, ewig fest gebunden, 
Bleibt noch Erinn'rung mir.
