Hinweg, mein Aug'! In jener Thalesweite Erlosch das Licht. Einsame Qual, komm du mein Nachtgeleite, Sie liebt mich nicht! Was Menschen je mit Freud' und Lust empfanden Vergaß ich schier, Mein Stolz, und all mein Wesen ward zu Schanden, Was wird aus mir? Muß ich für ewig unauflösbar wähnen Dies Schmerzgewicht? Dem Aug' entstürzt ein Strom von heißen Thränen -- Sie liebt mich nicht!

Away, my eye! In that valley’s expanse The light has been extinguished. Lonely agony, come, you companion of my nights, She loves me not! What people ever felt with happiness and joy, I have almost completely forgotten, My pride and all my being has been ruined, What shall become of me? Must I forever ineluctably be fated to imagine The weight of this pain? From my eyes plunges a torrent of hot tears -- She loves me not!
