I Haven her du hvisked engang, jeg var dig kjær. Nu ser du bort og tier: Du elsker mig ej mer. Du fulgte Ærens Stjerne og glemte Dalens Fred. Du steg i gyldne Sale men jeg var ikke med! Kan Æren vel opveje et Hjertes ømme Tro! Alt har du nu, min Elskte, kun ikke Hjertets Ro! Jeg skal ej for dig skygge din Stjernehimmels Hvælv. Vel tabte jeg min Lykke; men du har tabt dig selv!

Du rauntest mir im Garten eh’mals, ich mag dich sehr. Nun schaust du weg im Schweigen: Du liebst mich wohl nicht mehr. Du folgtest Ruhm und Ehre, bliebst unserm Tal nicht treu, durchschrittest gold’ne Säle, doch - ich war nicht dabei! Ob Ehren wohl aufwiegen ein Herz, das treulich glaubt! Nun hast du alles, Lieber, doch - deiner Ruh beraubt! Ich werd’ es nicht verdunkeln dein Sternenhimmelszelt, mir ging mein Glück verloren, dir - ist das Ich zerschellt!
