by Georg Friedrich Konrad Ludwig Gerstenbergk (1780 - 1838)

Verschwunden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In das Land der seligen Liebe, 
An der Grenze des ewigen Glücks, 
Mit Sehnsucht, daß es mir bliebe, 
Schaut ich hinein, voll ahnenden Blicks.  

Sah von allen Himmeln hernieder 
Engel steigen im freundlichen Kor.  --  
Sah' All' sie verschwinden dann wieder 
Und es schloß sich das flammende Thor. 

Was ich gesehen, was ich empfunden,
Saget die stumme Strophe dir nicht  --  
Denn der Laut ist schüchtern gebunden  --  
Ohne Hoffnung die Liebe nicht spricht!
