The woman realizes she has been giving all her hopes into this relationship, yet she ends up alone once again.
Ampi transformed the lyrics, so they better match reality. She is promoting a more independent position, and not that the existence of the woman is dependent on the love of the man. We have an interesting parallel here to the last track, in which the woman eventually dies. Her husband dies before her, yet her love is still there, it's the love for her daughter. Schumann and Carl Gustav Loewe did not dare to put music to these verses, assumably because the romantic love to a man is what they wanted to focus on in their interpretations.
lyrics
Original:
Ich kann's nicht fassen, nicht glauben,
Es hat ein Traum mich berückt;
Wie hätt er doch unter allen
Mich Arme erhöht und beglückt?
Mir war's, er habe gesprochen:
Ich bin auf ewig dein -
Mir war's - ich träume noch immer,
Es kann ja nimmer so sein.
O laß im Traume mich sterben
Gewieget an seiner Brust,
Den seligsten Tod mich schlürfen
In Tränen unendlicher Lust.
