Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache, Es ist die Stunde still und spät -- Wie einsam geht der Tag vorüber, Der ohne dich vorüber geht! Es liegt mein Licht in deinen Augen, Doch deine Augen meiden mich, Es liegt mein Heil in deinen Händen, Doch nimmermehr gewinn' ich dich! Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache Und lausche, wie der Lenzwind weht -- Wie einsam geht der Lenz vorüber, Der ohne dich vorüber geht!

De ma chambre ouverte je me penche, C'est l'heure tardive et silencieuse ; Comme le jour passe dans la solitude, Quand il passe sans toi ! Ma lumière repose dans tes yeux, Mais tes yeux m'évitent, Mon salut repose dans tes mains, Mais jamais je ne te conquerrai. De ma chambre ouverte je me penche, Et j'écoute le souffle du vent du printemps ; Comme le printemps passe dans la solitude, Quand il passe sans toi !
