Ahnung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es klang mir im Ohre so leise und lind,
Wie wenn eine Saite erbebet im Wind; 
Ich dachte: das ist doch kein irdischer Ton,
Ob er wohl den Räumen des Jenseits entflohn? 

Und immer noch klang es mir wonnig und traut, 
Wie Gruss aus der Ferne mit liebenden Laut.
Jeh lauschte dem langsam entschwebenden Ton,
Still dacht ich an Liebchen da war er entflohn.
