About the headline (FAQ)

Confirmed with Der Novellen zehnte Sammlung. Neue Novellen, Berlin, Verlag von Wilhelm Hertz (Bessersche Buchhandlung), 1875, chapter 4, Ein Märtyrer der Phantasie. The poem is embedded in the middle of a chapter of prose with no title, so it could be a quotation of a song that was well-known at the time, or it could be an original poem by Heyse.
