by G. H. Weber and possibly by Georg H. Weber (1808 - 1888)
In der Ferne
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nun bin ich fern von dir, mein Lieb, Getrennt durch Berg und Tal, Jetzt denke ich, das Herz so schwer, An dich viel tausendmal! Viel tausendmal gedenk ich jetzt Der jungen Liebe Zeit, Wo ich dir manchen Tag gezürnt In selbst geschaffnem Leid! Dass ich dir zürnte manchen Tag, Das macht mir bittre Qual. Vergib, mein süßes Lieb, vergib, Doch ach! Nun trennt uns Berg und Tal!
Note: the Rheinberger score indicates the text author as G. H. Weber. The Petrucci Music Library attributes the text to Georg H. Weber (1808-1888), but since Weber is a common name and Georg H. Weber is known as a historian and not as a writer or poet, we await further evidence before attributing the text to him.
