by Robert Hamerling (1830 - 1889)

Trost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will mit Liedestönen
  Mein sehnend Herz erheitern,
Ich will im ewig Schönen
  Mein enges Sein erweitern.

Zum Trotz den Todesgluten
  Der Liebe will ich leben,
Will auf des Lebens Fluten
  Wie Schwäne selig schweben.

Kann ich auch nie vergessen
  Die süßen Sternenaugen,
Was sollen mir Cypressen
  Statt Ros' und Lorbeer taugen?

Ich will im ewig Schönen
  Mein enges Sein erweitern,
Ich will mit Liedestönen
  Mein sehnend Herz erheitern.
