Er (Im Garten)
 Deine Stimme laß ertönen,
 Hohe Fürstin meiner Liebe,
 Deine Blicke laß mir leuchten,
 Blühend Licht der Sternennacht!

 Sang mir nicht der Kranz der Blumen:
 "Heut' auch will ich dich beglücken -- ?"
 Nieder sende deine Strahlen,
 Blühend Licht der Sternennacht!

 Einsam harr' ich deinen Schritten,
 Schweigend lausch' ich deinen Tönen;
 Deine Blicke laß mir leuchten,
 Blühend Licht der Sternennacht!
