"Zuweilen dünkt es [mich]1, als trübe Geheime Sehnsucht deinen Blick - Ich kenn es wohl, dein Mißgeschick: Verfehltes Leben, verfehlte Liebe! Du nickst so traurig! Wiedergeben Kann ich dir nicht die Jugendzeit - Unheilbar ist dein Herzeleid: Verfehlte Liebe, verfehltes Leben!"

« Parfois, il me semble, qu'il y a comme un trouble De nostalgie secrète dans ton regard -- Je le connais bien, ton malheur : Une vie manquée, un amour manqué ! Tu penches la tête si tristement ! Te rendre Ta jeunesse, je ne le peux pas -- Incurable est ta douleur : Une vie manquée, un amour manqué !
