by Johann Heinrich, Freiherr von Reitzenstein (1722 - 1780)

Klage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Singe, kleine holde Philomele,
deine Töne lindern meinen Schmerz;
singe du mit deiner Zauberkehle
Frieden in mein gramumwölktes Herz!
Dein Gesang dringt tief in meine Seele,
ud ich blicke tränend himmelwärts;
Liebchen, Liebchen, hör mein Flehen,
Liebchen, stille meine Qual!
Ach, mein Schmerz drückt mich darnieder;
komm und gib mir meine Ruhe wieder!
