by Heinrich Anton August Bürck (1805 - 1880)

Lichtbild
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du denkst an mich in weiter Ferne,
dein Antlitz schwebt mir lieblich vor;
wie leuchten deiner Augen Sterne!
Ich schaue gläubig still empor.

Du willst die Antwort mir wohl geben,
um die ich [bebend]1 dich gefragt?
Sie will den Lippen sich entheben -
du sprichst - ach, was hast du gesagt?

O fließ in meine Seel' hinüber,
du holdes Bild! Wie jauchzt mein Herz
und wird so licht, mein Auge trüber -
du denkst an mich mit süßem Schmerz.
