Ich habe zur letzten guten Nacht
Dein liebes Bild geküßt,
Da war mir, als hätte der Mund gelacht,
Das Auge mich freundlich begrüßt.

Die Züge lebten in warmem Glanz,
Durchhaucht von athmendem Wehn,
Du warst es selbst, du warst es ganz,
Als sey ein Wunder geschehn.

Da hab' ich zur letzten guten Nacht
Noch einmal dein Bild geküßt,
Mir ist, als hättest du gelacht
Und als ob ich weinen müßt!
