by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Sie geht in aller Frühe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Sie geht in aller Frühe,
Noch eh die Dämm'rung schwand,
Den Weg zur Tagesmühe
Im ärmlichen Gewand.
Die dunklen Nebel feuchten
Noch in [der Straße]1 dicht,
Sonst sähe man beleuchten
Ein Lächeln ihr Gesicht;
Die Götter mögen wissen,
Warum sie heimlich lacht —
Es weiß es nur das Kissen,
[Was ihr]2 geträumt heut nacht.
