by Johann Ludwig Tieck (1773 - 1853)

Abschied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Was ist das Leben? Kommen nur und Schwinden,
Ein Wechsel nur von Nacht und Tageshelle, 
Verlust und Schmerz, Sehnsucht und Wiederfinden,
So schwebt durch Traum und Wachen hin die Welle --
Drum lächelt hoffend in der Trennung Wehen
Durch Abschiedsthränen schon das Wiedersehen.

Confirmed with Ludwig Tiecks ausgewählte Werke, mit einer Einleitung von Heinrich Welti, Achter Band, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung, Gebrüder Kröner Verlagshandlung, [1833], page 252.
