A reflective verse recalls childhood memory sparked by firelight shadows and a distant prayer. The speaker longs for a motherly presence and the comforting peace of a bygone era as a child's song echoes through the house.
A romantic tale unfolds in the Rhineland as Paul returns to his father’s mansion to find Bertha and the spirit-maiden Miheria. Paul longs for distant love, dreams of the veiled spirit, and wanders the fountain where a radiant dream-woman beckons. Years pass, Bertha remains steadfast, and a reunited moment with Paul finally arrives at her lattice under the Rhine summer.
In a quiet hall the couple speaks of true love and illusion. He longs for the ideal and laments the missed voice of the real while Bertha confesses her lasting affection and asks if happiness might come at last. The piece contrasts shadow and substance with metaphorical imagery.
