by Karl Ludwig Methusalem Müller (1771 - 1837)

Lyda trauert! geuß ihr sanften Frieden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Lyda]1 trauert!  geuß ihr sanften Frieden,
Fromme Liebe, in das edle Herz!
Nimm ihr, wenn im Dufte deiner Blüthen
Sie entschlummert, aus der Brust den Schmerz.

Schenk' ihr, wenn die Erde ihren Blicken
Dann entschwindet, in dein schönes Land
Einen Hinblick nur, wo mit Entzücken
Jed' Entsagung ihre Krone fand.

Laß sie fühlen, dass in solchen Sehnen
Ungestillt kein zärtlich Herz verglüht;
Daß einst aus dem Thaue ihrer Thränen
Deines Lenzes schönste [Blum' erblüht]2.
