by Elsa Maria von Packeny (1867 - 1941), as Elsa Asenijeff

Klage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Wo ich bin, fern und nah,
Steht dein edles Haupt meinen Augen da...
Nimmermehr bin ich mit mir!
Über all, wo ich geh und steh, bist du allhier.
Träum' ich nachts, bist du da;
Wach ich, steht mir dein Antlitz nah;
Schließ ich die Augen, seh ich dich,
Immer dich, ewiglich!
