Es zieht sich zwischen Bergen Der See romantisch hin, In seinen Wellen zittert Der weite Himmel darin. Viel tausend Sternlein schauen Mit gold'nen Augen empor; Aus eilenden Wolken schreitet Der bleiche Mond hervor. Ich schaukle zwischen Sternen Und Wolken hin und her, Mir ist so wohl! so selig! Als ob ich im Himmel wär'.
Confirmed with Gedichte von Hiazinth von Schulheim, Graz, bei Damian und Sorge, 1886, page 35.

It lies between mountains, this romantic lake, In its waves trembles The wide sky’s reflection. Many thousand little stars look up With golden eyes; From the turbulent clouds Emerges the pale moon. I rock back and forth Between stars and clouds, To me, everything is so complete, so holy! As if I were in heaven.
