...
Verzaubert sag ich liebe Namen viel,
Verschollen ferne, die ich einst gekannt,
Und geh verloren weiter ohne Ziel
Durch der Erinnerung gedämpftes Land.
Da glänzt dein Name aus der Dämmerung,
Du Einzige, und plötzlich bin ich wach,
Und aller Schmerz ist wieder neu und jung
Und wandelt glühend deinen Spuren nach.
