by Heinrich Proch (1809 - 1878)

Das Scheiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Scheiden ist ein bitt'res Wort
voll Kummer und voll Tränen;
wer nie von seinem Liebchen schied,
der kennt nicht stilles Sehnen.
Doch ich, ich kenn' den herben Schmerz,
mich brennt mein armes treues Herz;
d'rum schick' ich immer sonder Ruh'
dir Grüße aus der Ferne zu.

Wer aber soll mein Bote sein?
so muss ich bange fragen;
wer kann denn all' mein Glück und Leid,
wer kann's mit Worten sagen?
Da bleibt mir nur mein Lied allein,
mein Lied, das soll der Bote sein!
D'rum schick' ich immer sonder Ruh'
dir Gruß und Kuss im Liede zu.
