Weich küßt die Zweige
der weiße Mond.
Ein Flüstern wohnt
im Laub, als neige,
als schweige sich der Hain zur Ruh:
Geliebte du --
Der Weiher ruht, und
die Weide schimmert.
Ihr Schatten flimmert
in seiner Flut, und
der Wind weint in den Bäumen:
wir träumen -- wir träumen --

de witte maan.
Een gefluister woont
in het loof, als ware het
alsof de adem zichzelf zwijgend tot rust brengt:
oh beminde jij --
De vijver rust, en
De weide glinstert.
Haar schaduw schittert
