Sonnenuntergang See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sonnenuntergang; Schwarze Wolken zieh'n, O wie schwül und bang Alle Winde flieh'n! Durch den Himmel wild Jagen Blitze bleich; Ihr vergänglich Bild Wandelt durch den Teich. O wie gewitterklar Mein' ich Dich zu seh'n, Und dein langes Haar Frei im Sturme weh'n!
