Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Soll ich ewig um dich weinen,
ohne dich im Leben steh'n,
wird kein Land mich dir vereinen,
werd' ich dich denn nimmer seh'n?

O so tön' mein Lied, und klage,
fliehe hin von Ort zu Ort,
und mit Zephyrs Säuseln trage
meine Sehnsucht mit dir fort!

Trage sie in weite Ferne,
wo vielleicht Erinn'rung weilt,
dass im hellen Hoffnungssterne
meiner Sehnsucht Wunde heilt.
