Doch hatte niemals tiefere Macht dein Blick,
als du da, Abschied fühlend, still am Ufer 
standest, schwandest; nur Dein Auge
blieb und bebte über den Wassern.

Dunkel folgte der Schein den leuchtenden Furchen;
und ich sah den Schaum der tiefen Flut,
sah dein weisses Kleid zerfliessen:
du stumme Seele! --
