\begin{my-verse}
’Tis done!—I saw it in my dreams;\\
No more with Hope the future beams;\\
My days of happiness are few:\\
Chill’d by misfortune’s wintry blast,\\
My dawn of life is overcast;\\
Love Hope, and Joy, alike adieu!\\
Would I could add Remembrance too!
\end{my-verse}

\begin{my-verse}
Vorbei! Es zeigten mir's die Träume:\\
Kein Hoffen hellt der Zukunft Räume;\\
Mir sanken schnell des Glückes Sonnen;\\
Des Unglücks Winterfröste haben\\
Den Lebensmorgen mir begraben,\\
Fahrt wohl nun, Liebe, Hoffen, Wonnen! -\\
Wär' auch Erinn'rung so zerronnen!

la germana urbo Lepsiko (Leipzig) en la
jaro 1841. Pri la tradukinto vidu la
