by Friedrich Gottlob Wetzel (1779 - 1819)

Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kennt ihr das schöne Eiland
weit draußen im Meer so wüst,
wo der Morgenröte Reigen
und der Sonnen Aufgang ist?
O dahin möcht' ich ziehen,
dahin steht mir mein Sinn!
Dahin wer kann mich führen?
Wer weiß den Weg dahin?

Confirmed with Taschenbuch zum geselligen Vergnügen auf das Jahr 1820, Leipzig & Wien.
