by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Sehnsucht, wie lang dehnst du den Tag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sehnsucht, wie lang dehnst du den Tag,
Wie öd' ist mir auf grüner Erden!
Stumm pocht das Herz mir, Schlag um Schlag,
Will es denn nimmer Abend werden?

Und wird es Abend -- wähnst du dann,
Daß dir der Abend Frieden brächte?
O, nur noch tiefer webt mein Bann! --
Sehnsucht, wie lang dehnst du die Nächte?
