That was once her casement
And the taper nigh
Shining from within there
Beckoned, "Here am I!"

Now, as then, I see her
Moving at the pane;
Ah, 'tis but her phantom
Borne within my brain!

Foremost in my vision
Everywhere goes she;
Change dissolves the landscapes
She abides with me

Shape so sweet and shy, Dear
Who can say thee nay?
Never once do I, Dear
Wish thy ghost away

That was once her casement
And the tapеr nigh
Shining from within there
Beckonеd, "Here am I!"

Now, as then, I see her
Moving at the pane;
Ah, 'tis but her phantom
Borne within my brain!
