by Ki no Tomonori (c845 - c905)
Translation by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)

Gleiche Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Japanese (日本語) 
Der Abend kommt herab. Nun wandr ich an
Den Sao-Fluß, im Windhauch seines Ufers
Die Freundin zu erwarten. Was erklingt
Im Dunkel so voll Sehnsucht? Horch, das ist
Der einsam-schwermutvolle Ruf der Möwe,
Die sich nach der Gefährtin sehnt, wie ich.
