Sie ist gegangen, die Wonnen versanken, Nun glühen die Wangen, nun rinnen die Tränen, Es schwanken die kranken, Die heißen Gedanken, Es pocht das Herz in Wünschen und Sehnen. Und hab' ich den Tag mit Andacht begonnen, Tagüber gelebt in stillem Entzücken, So leb' ich jetzt träumend, Die Arbeit versäumend Von dem, was sie schenkte in Worten und Blicken. So hängen noch lang nach dem Scheiden des Tages [In säuselnder]1 Nachtluft, beim säuselnden Winde Die [Bienlein]2 wie trunken Und wonneversunken An zitternde Blüten der duftigen Linde.
1 Meißner: "in schweigender Nachtluft"
2 sometimes "Bienen"

Zij is vertrokken, mijn stemming gezonken, Nu gloeien mijn wangen, nu stromen mijn tranen, Mijn denkbeelden vonken, Zij branden en bonken, Mijn hart klopt fel, vol hunk’ring en wanen. En ben ik de dag met bidden begonnen, En leefd’ ik daarna als ’n stille vervoerde, Zo leef ik nu dromend, De arbeid ontlopend, Van dat wat zij schonk mij met blikken en woorden. Zo hangen nog lang na het scheiden van ’t daglicht In suiz’lende nachtlucht, bij suiz’lende winden, De bijtjes als dronken, Extatisch verzonken, Aan trillende bloesems der geurende linde.
