An der Brücke stand
jüngst ich in brauner Nacht.
Fernher kam Gesang;
goldener Tropfen quoll's
über die zitternde Fläche weg.
Gondeln, Lichter, Musik -
trunken schwamm's in die Dämmrung hinaus ...
Meine Seele, ein Saitenspiel,
sang sich, unsichtbar berührt,
heimlich ein Gondellied dazu,
zitternd vor bunter Seligkeit.
- Hörte jemand ihr zu?

Près du pont je me tenais
récemment dans la nuit brune.
Du lointain venait un chant ;
des gouttes dorées jaillissaient
sur la surface tremblante.
Des gondoles, de la lumière, de la musique --
Ivre, cela flottait dans le crépuscule...
Mon âme, un instrument à cordes,
chantait à elle-même, touchée de manière invisible,
secrètement une barcarolle ,
tremblant de bonheur joyeux,
-- Quelqu'un écoutait-il ?
