by Edmund Schwab (b. 1882)

Wo wirst Du sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo wirst du sein, 
indessen ich allein
in Schmerzen hier in meiner Kammer liege
und alles Träumen nicht besiege
vom Sonnenschein?
 
Mit blauem Band,
den Strohhut in der Hand,
so wandelst du wohl draußen in der Ferne,
zu Füßen gold'ne Blumensterne,
durch Sommerland.

In tiefem Moll
die Glocken tönen voll
ein sehnsuchtsschweres Lied zu meiner Seele,
der trauernd ich die Stunden zähle,
die ich hier liegen soll

still und allein,
indes der Sonnenschein
zur Reife bringt die sommerschönen Tage,
und ich mich hundert Male frage:
Wo wirst du sein?
