Sehnsucht
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie ich dich überall sehe, du Meine
Und Eine! 
Immer du so fern-nah!
Gegenwärtig und doch nicht da!
Immer nur Spuren und Spuren. --
Viel, ach! wie viel! 
Im Wandern folg' ich ihnen, 
Zu welchem Ziel?
O du, o Dunkelgewillte!
Wann, wo empfängt der Niegestillte 
Seine Ruh' --
