Ich schwebe wie auf Engelsschwingen,
Die Erde kaum berührt mein Fuß,
In meinen Ohren hör' ich's klagen
Wie der Geliebten Scheidegruß.
Das tönt so lieblich, mild und leise,
Das spricht so zage, zart und rein,
Leicht lullt die nachgeklung'ne Weise
In wonneschweren Traum mich ein.
...
Mein schimmernd Aug' -- indeß mich füllen
Die süßesten der Melodien, --
Sieht ohne Falten, ohne Hüllen
Mein lächelnd Lieb' vorüberziehn.

Ik zweef zoals de hemelingen,
De aarde niet haast raakt mijn voet,
En in mijn oren hoor ik klagen,
Alsof mijn lief ten afscheid groet.
Het klinkt zo lieflijk, mild en bevend,
Het spreekt zo zuiver, zacht, met schroom,
Licht wiegt het liedje, nog nazwevend,
Mij in een diepe, zaal’ge droom.
...
Mijn stralend oog – terwijl mij tere
Gezangen door de ziel heen gaan -,
Ziet zonder rimpels, zonder kleren
Mijn lief glimlachend langs mij gaan.
