by Karl (or Carl) Heinrich Schnauffer (1823 - 1854)

Dein gedenken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn treu die Sonn' den letzten Strahl 
Zum Lebewohl schickt in das Thal,
In Schleier hüllt ihr Angesicht:
Dann denk ich dein, vergiß mein nicht!

Und wenn am Abend purpurroth 
Vorm trunknen Blick der Himmel loht, 
Ums Haupt der Berge Rosen flicht: 
Dann denk ich dein, vergiß mein nicht!

Und singt die Nachtigall im Hain
Von Schmerz und Lust im Mondenschein,
Bis aus dem Aug die Thräne bricht!
Dann denk' ich dein, vergiß mein nicht.

Du bist mir Sonn' und Abendgold,
Bist Nachtigall mir lieb und hold,
O höre, was die Liebe spricht:
Ich denke dein; vergiß mein nicht!
