by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

An jedem Morgen freu ich mich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
An jedem Morgen freu ich mich,
Daß ich zu neuem Tag erwacht,
Doch mehr am Abend noch, daß ich
Hab' wieder einen Tag vollbracht.
So sehnt vom Abend sich der Sinn
Zum Tag, vom Tag zum Abend hin;
O Herz, zu leben scheinest du,
Und steuerst nur dem Tode zu.
