by Johann Gustav Droysen (1808 - 1884)

Lebewohl
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Stören möcht' ich deinen Schlaf nicht,
und so bald doch ziehst du fort;
möcht' in deinen Traum mich stehlen,
möchte Liebes dir erzählen.
Schläfst du noch?

Und nun will ich sehr dich herzen,
will dich küssen, Bruder mein,
und ich kann es noch nicht fassen,
dass du gar uns willst verlassen.
Lebe wohl!
