Ist es ein Fischer, der
Sich, mühselig härmt bei schlaflosem Fang,
845
Ist es der Göttinnen Eine von Olympos' Höhn, 1
Oder ein flutender Bosporosstrom,
Die wo den unmuthschweren Mann
Irren geseh'n? Ach, wer sagt es uns? Traurig wohl,
Daß ich, in langen Müh'n umherschweifend, ihn
850
Nirgend fand, glücklichen Lauses froh,
Und nirgend sah des sinnberaubten Mannes Spur!
