Schlafloser Augen Leuchte, trüber Stern,
Dess' tränengleicher Schein, unendlich fern,
Das Dunkel nicht erhellt, nur mehr es zeigt,
O wie dir ganz des Glück's Erinn'rung gleicht! 
So leuchtet längst vergang'ner Tage Licht:
Es scheint, doch wärmt sein matter Schimmer nicht,
Dem wachen Gram erglänzt die Luftgestallt,
Hell, aber fern, klar, aber ach, wie kalt!
