In tiefer Nacht mutterseelenallein,
kämm‘ ich mein goldenes Haar,
schön schönes Rautendelein!
Die Vögel reisen, die Nebel ziehn,
die Haidefeuer verlassen glühn …

 ... 

Im hellen Monde kämm ich mein Haar
und denke deß, der mein Buhle einst war.
Die Glockenblumen läuten.
Läuten sie Glück? läuten sie Qual?
Beides zumal,
dünkt mich, soll es bedeuten. -
Hinab! hinab  ... 
in Wasser und Tang!
ich blieb schon zu lang.
Hinab, hinab!

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3 of the original text.
