by Felix Ludwig Julius Dahn (1834 - 1912)

O du mein Lieb
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O du mein Lieb, du Haupt viel süßer Sorgen,
mein tiefstes Leid und meine höchste Lust!
Wann kommt der Tag, der sicher und geborgen
Dein holdes [Köpfchen]1 legt an meine Brust?

Kaum trag' ich's mehr, die Hoffen, Harren, Bangen,
die bitt're Wehmut um dein einsam Los!
O Morgenstern, geh' endlich auf mit Prangen;
[lang' ist die Nacht]2, und ach, die Sehnsucht groß!
