Ich sah dich weinen! ach! die Zähre 
  Schwamm auf des Auges Blau;
Und dieses Auge, dacht' ich, wär'  
  Ein Veilchen, naß vom Thau.
Ich sah dich lächeln; Saphirschimmer 
  Trat matt vor dir zurück,
Den regen Glanz erreicht' er nimmer,
  Der strahlt aus deinem Blick.

De wenende

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

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

Ik zag je schreien! Ach!
De traan, zij dreef op je ogenblauw
En, ja, dit oog was, dacht ik,
Een viooltje, nat van dauw.
Ik zag je glimlach --
Saffierglans week terug voor jou, met schrik;
Die held're glans bereikt hij nimmer
Die straalde uit jouw blik.
