by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Wie sich Schatten dehnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie sich Schatten dehnen
Vom Gebirg zum See,
Fühlt mein Herz ein Sehnen
Und ein süßes Weh.

Wie die Möwen fliegen
Fluter uferwärts,
Möcht' ich nun mich schmiegen
An ein treues Herz.

Froh im Morgenschimmer
Zieht der Wand'rer aus,
Aber abends immer
Möcht' er sein zu Haus.
