by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)
Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben, Sie hat so lange von mir nichts vernommen, Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben. Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen, Ob sie mich für gestorben hält, Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen, Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt. Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgewimmel, Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet. Ich leb' allein in mir und meinem Himmel, In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied.
