by Ludwig Jacobowski (1868 - 1900)

Ich sah sie wohl schon Wochen nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sah sie wohl schon Wochen nicht.
Wie lang sich Wochen dehnen!
Ich sehnte so ihr süß' Gesicht,
Doch was hilft alles Sehnen?

Sie lebt ja ohne mich so gut,
Warum den Frieden stören?
Wenn's meiner Seele bitter thut,
Sie soll es niemals hören.

Man hat mich nicht als Kind verwöhnt
Und nicht geliebt den Knaben,
Nun bin ich Mann und steh' beschämt,
Ich wollt' es besser haben!
