Wohl denk' ich allenthalben,
O du Entfernte, dein!
Früh, wenn die Wolken falben,
Und spät im Sternenschein.
Im Grund des Morgengoldes,
Im rothen Abendlicht,
Umschwebst du mich, o holdes,
Geliebtes Traumgesicht!
Es folgt in alle Weite
Dein trautes Bild mir nach,
Es wallt mir stets zur Seite,
Im Träumen oder wach;
Wenn Lüfte sanft bestreifen
Der See beschilften Strand,
Umflüstern mich die Schleifen
Von seinem Busenband.

Arreu on em trobo,
penso en tu! La que és lluny!
De bon matí, quan els núvols empal•lideixen,
i cap al tard, a la llum de les estrelles.
Quan comença el groc daurat de l’aurora,
en la llum rogenca del capvespre,
sures al meu entorn, oh encisadora,
estimada visió de somni!
Em segueix per tot arreu
la teva preuada imatge,
camina sempre al meu costat
quan dormo o quan estic despert;
quan l’oreig suaument acarona
el canyís a la riba del llac,
em xiuxiuegen els llaços
del teu cosset.
