Aus thauenden Wolken erwacht,
Und ach, der Geliebte kehrt noch nicht zurück!

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Waar dwaal je door 't eenzaam ravijn van de nacht,
Waar ben je, mijn lot, mijn geluk?
Reeds zijn van de dauwende nacht
De sterren gaan schijnen heel zacht,
En, ach, mijn geliefde keert nog niet terug!
