by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Verlassen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun geht das Kind zu weinen
Und sucht den stillsten Ort. 
Es zog und floh mit Einem 
All Ruh' und Frieden fort. 

Es war ein glücklich Blühen 
Wohl an dem stillsten Ort; 
Zwei Herzen waren selig 
Weit über die Erde fort. 

Es ward der Einzig-Eine 
Untreu mit Herz und Wort.  --  
Nun geht das Kind zu weinen  
Und sucht den stillsten Ort. 

Confirmed with Carl Siebel's Dichtungen, ed. by Emil Rittershaus, Berlin: C. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1877, page 219. Appears in Letzte Gedichte.
