by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

An Dich verschwendet hat mein Herz
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
An Dich verschwendet hat mein Herz
Sein bestes Gut und Blut,
Sein Träumen, Lachen und Weinen,
Sein Zagen und seinen Mut.

Und Du - Du gehst und blickst vorbei,
Du stolze Königin,
Du weisst, und willst nicht wissen,
Wie ganz verarmt ich bin;

Wie bettelarm, wie bettelstolz
Ich meine Strasse zieh'!
Zum Bettler bin ich geworden,
Doch betteln werd' ich nie!
