Dies wird die letzte Trän' nicht sein

Dies wird die letzte Trän' nicht sein,
Die glühend Herz aufquillet,
Das mit unsäglich neuer Pein
Sich schmerzvermehrend stillet.

Oh! laß doch immer hier und dort
Mich ewig Liebe fühlen,
Und möcht' der Schmerz auch also fort
Durch Nerv' und Ader wühlen.

Könnt' ich doch ausgefüllt einmal
Von dir, o Ew'ger, werden -
Ach, diese lange, tiefe Qual,
Wie dauert sie auf Erden!
