Ночевала тучка золотая
На груди утёса-великана;
Утром в путь она умчалась рано,
По лазури весело играя.

Но остался влажный след в морщине
Старого утёса. Одиноко
Он стоит; задумался глубоко,
И тихонько плачет он в пустыне...

Eine Wolke ließ beim Glanz der Sterne
Nachts von hoher Felsenbrust sich nieder,
Als der Morgen anbrach, zog sie wieder
Fröhlich fürbaß in die blaue Ferne.

Doch es blieb die feuchte Spur
Eingefurcht dem alten Fersen,
Schauet einsam auf die Flur
Trüb versenkt in tiefes Schweigen,
Und ein Thränenstrom entquillt 
Seiner Stirne...
