by Hans Georg Meyer (1792 - 1863)

Einsam
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bald träumerisch und milde, 
Bald hell wie Glockenklang 
Erwacht bei deinem Bilde 
Mein schlummernder Gesang.  

O wonnevolles Lauschen, 
Von Menschen unbewacht, 
Wenn Lieder mich umrauschen, 
Wie Geister in der Nacht! 

Ich möchte mich versenken 
In ein verfallnes Schloß, 
Und all' der Liebe denken, 
Die ich von dir genoß. 

Confirmed with Hans Georg Meyer, Gedichte, Berlin: Julius Springer, 1873, page 17. Appears in Lieder.
