Deinem Blick darf meiner nicht begegnen, Meine Seele, die so viel gelitten, Darf nicht deine reine Seele bitten: Wolle die verlorene Schwester segnen! Leise nur im allertiefsten Innern Darf sie einst gewesener Schwesterzeiten, Ferner Liebe, ferner Seligkeiten, Schweigend und verzweifelnd sich erinnern.
