Sie ist gegangen, die Wonnen versanken, Nun glühen die Wangen, nun rinnen die Thränen; Es schwanken die kranken, Die heißen Gedanken, Es pocht das Herz in Wünschen und Sehnen. Und hab' ich den Tag mit Andacht begonnen, Tagüber gelebt in stillem Entzücken, So leb' ich jetzt träumend, Die Arbeit versäumend Von dem, was sie schenkte in Worten und Blicken. So hängen noch lang nach dem Scheiden des Tages In säuselnder Nachtluft, beim säuselnden Winde, Die Bienlein wie trunken Und wonneversunken An zitternde Blüthen der duftigen Linde.

She has gone, the bliss has sunk, Now my cheeks glow, now tears run, I'm reeling with sickly feverish thoughts, My heart pounds with desire and longing. And if I'd begun the day with prayers, And lived each day in quiet delight, Now I live in a dreamy world, Neglecting my work To think of what she bestowed on me in words and gazes. Thus do bees hang, long after the day has departed, In the rustling breezes of night and whispering winds, As if intoxicated And drowned in rapture, On the trembling blossoms of the fragrant Linden tree.
