German text
Einsam wandelt dein Freund im Frühlingsgarten,
Mild vom lieblichen Zauberlicht um flossen,
Das durch wankende Blüthenzweige zittert,
Adelaide!
In der spiegelnden Fluth, im Schnee der Alpen,
In des sinkenden Tages Goldgewölken,
In Gefilde der Sterne strahlt dein Bildniss,
Adelaide!
Abendlüftchen im zarten Laube flüstern,
Silberglöckchen des Mais im Grase säuseln,
Wellen rauschen und Nachtigallen flöten,
Adelaide!
Einst, o Wunder! entblüht auf meinem Grabe,
Eine Blume der Asche meines Herzens
Deutlich schimmert auf jedem Purpurblättchen:
Adelaide!
