Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEBFGHAIJAKFL MNOPQR SFTR UVWXU AFY ZGA2B2C2 HD2VE2F2G2H2| I sit by the mossy fountain on the | A |
| top of the hill of winds One tree is | B |
| rustling above me Dark waves roll | C |
| over the heath The lake is troubled | D |
| below The deer descend from the | A |
| hill No hunter at a distance is seen | E |
| no whistling cow herd is nigh It is | B |
| mid day but all is silent Sad are my | F |
| thoughts as I sit alone Didst thou | G |
| but appear O my love a wanderer on | H |
| the heath thy hair floating on the | A |
| wind behind thee thy bosom heaving | I |
| on the sight thine eyes full of tears | J |
| for thy friends whom the mist of the | A |
| hill had concealed Thee I would comfort | K |
| my love and bring thee to thy | F |
| father's house | L |
| - | |
| But is it she that there appears like | M |
| a beam of light on the heath bright | N |
| as the moon in autumn as the sun in | O |
| a summer storm She speaks but | P |
| how weak her voice like the breeze | Q |
| in the reeds of the pool Hark | R |
| - | |
| Returnest thou safe from the war | S |
| Where are thy friends my love I | F |
| heard of thy death on the hill I heard | T |
| and mourned thee Shilric | R |
| - | |
| Yes my fair I return but I alone | U |
| of my race Thou shalt see them no | V |
| more their graves I raised on the plain | W |
| But why art thou on the desert hill | X |
| why on the heath alone | U |
| - | |
| Alone I am O Shilric alone in the | A |
| winter house With grief for thee I | F |
| expired Shilric I am pale in the tomb | Y |
| - | |
| She fleets she sails away as grey | Z |
| mist before the wind and wilt thou | G |
| not stay my love Stay and behold | A2 |
| my tears fair thou appearest my love | B2 |
| fair thou wast when alive | C2 |
| - | |
| By the mossy fountain I will sit on | H |
| the top of the hill of winds When | D2 |
| mid day is silent around converse O | V |
| my love with me come on the wings | E2 |
| of the gale on the blast of the mountain | F2 |
| come Let me hear thy voice as | G2 |
| thou passest when mid day is silent around | H2 |
