Language: German (Deutsch)
Du Thurm! zu meinem Leide Ragst du so hoch empor, Und mahnest grausam immer An sie, die ich verlor. Sie hängt an einem Andern, Und wohnt im Weiler dort. Mein armes Herz verblutet, Vom schärfsten Pfeil durchbohrt. In ihren braunen Augen War keiner Untreu Spur; Aus ihnen sprachen Liebe Und holde Anmuth nur. Wohin ich nun mich wende - Der Thurm, er folget mir; O sagt' er, statt der Stunden, Was mich vernichtet, ihr!

Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version.
