by Moritz Hartmann (1821 - 1872)
Welche Mißgunst hat zur Plage
Language: German (Deutsch)
Welche Mißgunst hat zur Plage Armer Liebe dich erdacht? Welcher Gott erschuf dich, sage, Nacht der Trennung, lange Nacht? Ohne Mondlicht, ohne Sterne, Ohne Lied der Nachtigall, Drückt auf alle Näh' und Ferne Deiner Nebel dunkler Schwall. Ungesehn und still wie Geister, Die von Stern zu Sterne ziehn, Wandelt nur die blasse Sehnsucht, Leise klagend, her und hin.
