Die Bilder des Lebens schwanken, Die Berge wechseln ihr Kleid, Du kommst mir nicht aus den Gedanken, Du dunkelbraunlockige Maid! Meine Augen haben die deinen, Deine die meinen gesucht, Heimlich wie unter Steinen Ein blaues Vergißmeinnicht lugt. Und als ich fuhr von hinnen, Hab' ich mich umgesehn, Dein weißes Tuch von Linnen Ließest du flatternd wehn. Die Sonne war bald verschwunden, Und nieder sank die Nacht; Hast du in ruhigen Stunden Noch einmal an mich gedacht?

The images of life fluctuate, The mountains change their garb, You are never out of my thoughts, You maiden with the dark brown ringlets! My eyes sought out yours, Yours sought out mine, Secretly, as under rocks A blue forget-me-not peers out. And as I departed I looked behind me, You let your white linen kerchief Flutter in the breeze. The sun had soon disappeared, Night fell; In the quiet hours Did you think of me once more?
