by Felix Ludwig Julius Dahn (1834 - 1912)

Nach schlafloser Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es dämmert kaum im Osten leis:
Mein Aug' ist wach, mein Kissen heiß,
Mein Herz ist wund, mein Mund ist stumm,
Und ach, nur Eine weiß warum.
Die Hähne krähn:  --  bald wacht das Haus,
Bald ruft das Leben mich hinaus:  
Nur eines wünsch' ich  --  wär' es um:
Und ach, nur Eine weiß warum.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Felix Dahn, zweite Sammlung, zweite Abteilung, Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1898, page 73.
