by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Junges Mädchen in den Bergen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Nebel hangen tief ins Tal herein . . .
"Ich weiss nicht, was ich bin und was ich soll.
Ich bin so jungen drängenden Lebens voll . . .
O Leben komm, ich will dein eigen sein.
O Leben, lass mich nicht allein!
Dies Herz ist bereit zu jeder Last.
Gib mir das Schicksal, das du für mich hast!"
