Drüben ging 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.

Là-haut le soleil s'en allait Et le jour fatigué s'est endormi. Ici les saules se penchent Sur l'étang, si calme, si profond. Et je dois me séparer de ma très chère: Coule, ô larme, jaillis! Ici les saules murmurent tristement, Et dans le vent les roseaux tremblent. Dans ma peine silencieuse et profonde, Tu rayonnes, lointaine! claire et douce, Comme ici, à travers les joncs et les saules Rayonne le reflet de l'étoile du soir.
