by August Wilhelm Schlegel (1767 - 1845)

Sonett
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O wie soll ich Kunde zu ihr bringen,
Kunde dieser ruhelosen Pein,
Von der Holden so getrennt zu sein,
Da Gefahren lauernd mich umringen.

Hüll' ich, der Entfernten sie zu singen,
In den Flor der Heimlichkeit mich ein:
Ach! so achtet sie wohl schwerlich mein,
Und vergebens muß mein Lied erklingen.

Doch getrost! Zerriß nicht, als sie schied,
Laut ihr Schwur die Pause stummer Schmerzen:
«Mann, du wohnest ewig mir im Herzen»?

Diesem Herzen brauchest du, o Lied,
Des Verhüllten Namen nicht zu nennen:
An der Stimme wird es ihn erkennen.
