by (Borromäus Sebastian Georg) Karl Reginald Herloß (1804 - 1849), as Karl Herloßsohn

Stern des Abends, mußt du heimwärts...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Stern des Abends, mußt du heimwärts ziehn? 
Sieh die andern noch so freundlich glühn! 
Und die Nachtigall am Weidenbach 
Ruft dir süße Sehnfuchtslieder nach! 
"Ach, ich muß -- obgleich ich traurig geh',
Scheiden, ach! Scheiden thut weh!"

Und du Schwalbe, wanderst du auch fort?
Ach, was zieht dich nach dem fremden Ort?
Sieh, wie grünend ist noch hier die Au,
Mild die Lüfte und der Himmel blau.
"Ach! ich muß, obgleich ich traurig geh',
Scheiden, ach! Scheiden thut weh!"

Zieht denn Alles weithin in die Welt? 
Stern des Abends, du vom Himmelszelt, 
Und du, Schwalbe, über Land und See? --
Herz, mein Herz, was thut dir also weh?
"Scheiden, ach! Scheiden thut weh!"
