Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
«Sag, wo ist dein schönes Liebchen, Das du einst so schön besungen, Als die zaubermächtgen Flammen Wunderbar dein Herz durchdrungen?» Jene Flammen sind erloschen, Und mein Herz ist kalt und trübe, Und dies Büchlein ist die Urne Mit der Asche meiner Liebe.

Siig, hvor er det Englevæsen
Language: Danish (Dansk) after the German (Deutsch)
Siig, hvor er det Englevæsen, Du besang med henrykt Smerte, Dengang Flammer, tryllestærke, Gjennemtrængte hedt dit Hjerte? Slukt er Ilden, dødt mit Hjerte, Kastet bort den muntre Maske; Og i disse Blade seer du Urnen med min Elskovs Aske.
