by Franz Bernhard Heinrich Wilhelm, Freiherr von Gaudy (1800 - 1840)

'S ist nichts
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da steh' ich im Kreise 
Der Mägd'lein so stumm, 
Es schweifen die Blicke, 
Die kalten, ringsum. 

Ich sehe manch feines, 
Holdsel'ges Gesicht  --  
So 'n liebes wie Deines 
Gewahr' ich doch nicht. 

Manch Mädel, das lächelt 
So fragend mich an: 
Was stehst Du so einsam, 
Verlorener Mann? 

Trost will ich gewähren, 
Wenn Trost Dir gebricht!  --  
Mein Herzleid zu heilen 
Vermag sie doch nicht. 

Durch die Welt will ich schweifen 
Ohne Rast, ohne Ruh; 
Die offene Munde 
Heilt doch nicht mehr zu. 

Durch die Welt will ich wandern 
Bis 's Herze mir bricht  --  
Denn was ich verloren 
Das find' ich doch nicht.
