by Ludwig Wilhelm Friedrich Seeger (1810 - 1864)

Zwei Wölkchen spielen auf sonniger Au'
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zwei Wölkchen spielen auf sonniger Au',
 Eins nur fürs Andre lebend,
Im hohen, weiten Himmelsblau,
 So fern, so einsam schwebend.

Ob solch' ein Paar zu finden wär'
 In allen Landen, Meeren?
Ich hätte weiter kein Begehr,
 Mein Kind, wenn wir es wären.
