Im schönsten Garten wallten
Zwei Buhlen, Hand in Hand,
Zwo bleiche kranke Gestalten,
Sie saßen in's Blumenland.

Sie küßten sich auf die Wangen,
Sie küßten sich auf den Mund,
Sie hielten sich fest umfangen,
Sie wurden jung und gesund.

Zwei Glöcklein klangen helle,
Der Traum entschwand zur Stund';
Sie lag in der Klosterzelle,
Er fern in Turmes Grund.
