by Anonymous / Unidentified Author and possibly by Johann Timotheus Hermes (1738 - 1821)

Endlich winkt der Freund der Müden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Endlich winkt der Freund der Müden
    Mir Erlösung zu.
Freundlich zeigt er in der Nähe
    Mir des Grabes Ruh.
 
Hofnungsloser[sic] Liebe Thränen
    Wurden tödtlich mir.
Diese Thränen -- ach Geliebter,
    Weint' ich, weint' ich dir!
 
Ach dich liebte meine Seele,
    Und du liebtest nicht.
Weinend sah die Ungeliebte
    Mond- und Sonnenlicht.
 
Meiner Jugend Freuden alle
    Flohen plötzlich mich;
Veilchen welkten, Rosen schwanden,
    Wo ich traurig schlich.
 
Heilung sollte das [Gelübde]1
    Meinem Herzen seyn,
Aber auch die Gottgeweihte
    Fühlte ihre Pein.
 
Sterbend wünsch' ich noch den Theuren,
    Den ich lieben muß;
Auf den kalten Lippen schwebet
    Noch der Liebe Kuß.
 
Sanfter wird [Sophie]2 ruhen,
    Wenn du sie beweinst,
Jede mitleidvolle Zähre
    Dankt sie dir dereinst.

Confirmed with Almanach der deutschen Musen auf das Jahr 1780, Leipzig: in der Weygandschen Buchhandlung, pages 241-242, poet indicated as "P***"; however some sources for Paradis indicates the poet as Hermes. This "P***" may refer to the song by Paradis, or it may indicate Paradis as the author.
