Du gehst an meiner Seite hin Und achtest meiner nicht; Nun schmerzt mich deine weiße Hand, Dein süßes Angesicht. O sprich wie sonst ein liebes Wort, Ein einzig Wort mir zu! Die Wunden bluten heimlich fort, Auch du hast keine Ruh. Der Mund, der jetzt zu meiner Qual Sich stumm vor mir verschließt, Ich hab ihn ja so tausendmal, Vieltausendmal geküßt. Was einst so überselig war, Bricht nun das Herz entzwei; Das Aug, das meine Seele trank, Sieht fremd an mir vorbei.

Tu vas à mon côté Et ne te soucies pas de moi; Maintenant me font mal ta blanche main, Ton doux visage. Ô comme avant dis-moi Un mot d'amour, un seul! En secret mes blessures saignent, Tu n'as pas non plus de repos. Ta bouche, qui maintenant pour mon tourment Devant moi s'est fermée, Je l'ai bien des milliers de fois, Plusieurs milliers de fois embrassée. Ce qui autrefois fut une félicité suprême Me brise maintenant le cœur en deux; Ces yeux, auxquels mon âme s'est abreuvée, Passent sur moi comme sur un étranger.
