Wir saßen so traulich [beisammen]1 Im kühlen Erlendach, [Wir]2 schauten so traulich zusammen Hinab in den rieselnden Bach. Der Mond war auch gekommen, Die Sternlein hinterdrein, Und schauten so traulich zusammen In den silbernen Spiegel hinein. Ich sah nach keinem Monde, Nach keinem Sternenschein, Ich schaute nach ihrem Bilde, Nach [ihren Augen]3 allein. Und sahe sie nicken und blicken Herauf aus dem seligen Bach, Die Blümlein am Ufer, die blauen, Sie nickten und blickten ihr nach. Und in den Bach versunken Der ganze Himmel schien, Und wollte mich mit hinunter In seine Tiefe ziehn. Und über den Wolken und Sternen Da rieselte munter der Bach, Und rief mit Singen und Klingen: Geselle, Geselle, mir nach! Da gingen die Augen mir über, Da ward es im Spiegel so kraus; Sie sprach: Es kommt ein Regen, Ade, ich geh' nach Haus.
J. Lang sets stanza 1
