Меня ты в толпе не узнала, Твой взгляд не сказал ничего. Но чудно и страшно мне стало, Когда уловил я его. То было одно лишь мгновенье, Но, верь мне, я в нём перенёс Всей прошлой любви наслажденье Всю горечь забвенья и слёз!

Du hast mich in der Menge nicht erkannt, dein Blick, er sagte nichts. Doch er entzückte und verstörte mich, sowie ich ihn erhaschte. Nur ein Moment war’s, aber glaube mir, in ihm durchlebte ich die ganzen Freuden der vergang’nen Liebe und all die Bitterkeit der Tränen, des Vergessenseins.
