Nach jenen blauen Bergen senden Willst du die Blicke sehnsuchtsvoll, Willst, daß auch ich mein Aug hin wenden Und [deinem]1 dort begegnen soll. So klammre dich denn, wundes Herze, An jenen starren Felsen an! Grab' dort dich ein mit deinem Schmerze, Dem nur der Ihre gleichen kann! So findet dort euch, treue Seelen! Zusammen schmied' euch fest der Gram! Nichts wird euch in der Wildniß fehlen Ob [euch]2 das Schicksal alles nahm.
