by (Christian) Friedrich Hebbel (1813 - 1863)

Einziges Geschiedensein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlummernd im schwellenden Grün
  Liegst du, wo Lüfte dich fächeln!
  Mädchen, was spiegelt dies Lächeln,
Spiegelt dies zarte Erglühn?

Ach wie beschleicht es mit Schmerz
  Kalt mir den innersten Frieden!
  Gänzlich, wie nie noch geschieden,
Fühlt sich von deinem mein Herz.

Was, wie ein göttlicher Hauch,
  Jetzt dich durchzittert, das Leben,
  Eh du erwachst, wird's entschweben,
Nimmer erfreut es mich auch.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Friedrich Hebbel. Gesammt-Ausgabe stark vermehrt und verbessert, Stuttgart und Augsburg, J. G. Cotta'scher Verlag, 1857, page 131.
