by Moritz Hartmann (1821 - 1872)
Leb wohl, leb wohl! auf Wiedersehn!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Leb wohl, leb wohl! auf Wiedersehn! Der Regen fällt, die Stürme wehn, Die Thräne sinkt, der Gram erwacht, Mein ganzes Glück versinkt in Nacht - O Gott, wie kannst du von mir gehn! Verlaß mich nicht! - vergiß mich nicht! Du bist mein Tag, du bist mein Licht, Du meine Zukunft und mein Kranz, Du bist mein Herz, mein Leben ganz, Du bist mein herrlichstes Gedicht. Was soll ich noch auf Erden hier? Was soll ich noch, getrennt von dir? O höre, höre das Gebet, Das meine tiefste Seele fleht: Verlaß mich nicht und bleibe hier!
