by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)

Einer Toten
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schibler)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie fühl ich heute deine Macht,
Als ob sich deine Wimper schatte
Vor mir auf diesem ampelhellen Blatte
Um Mitternacht!
Dein Auge sieht
Begierig mein entstehend Lied.

Dein Wesen neigt sich meinem zu,
Du bists! Doch deine Lippen schweigen,
Und liesest du ein Wort, das zart und eigen,
Bists wieder du,
Dein Herzensblut,
Indes dein Staub im Grabe ruht.

 ... 

 ... 
Du lebst in mir!
Wozu beweint?
Du lebst und fühlst mit mir vereint!
