by (Johann) Heinrich Vogeler (1872 - 1942)

Wir sassen still in Deiner kleinen...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir sassen still in Deiner kleinen Kammer;
Tief bücktest Du Dich auf die Arbeit nieder
Und tiefer sank Dein Kopf Dir auf das Mieder.
-- Wer kennt den hoffnungslosen Jammer
Wenn Menschen, die sich ewig lieb,
Der Kampf des Lebens auseinander trieb.

Noch fühle ich Dein warm pulsirend Leben;
Noch fühl ich Deinen zarten Körper beben
In meinen Armen, die zum letzten Mal
Dich fest umschlossen in der Trennungsqual.
Ich eilte fort; und langsam schwand
Das Häuschen in der dichten Nebelwand.
