Die Seufzer
 (Sung text for setting by J. D'Alquen)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ihr Seufzer mein, die eh' wie schwere Schauer
von Nebel trübet meiner Freuden Lust,
geht hin zum Herzen, das zur ew'gen Dauer
Hass gegen mich aus seinen Tiefen ruft.
Und wenn ihr nahe seid der harten Mauer,
so löset leis' euch tropfenweis' in Duft,
und mit den Tropfen, schmeichelnder und lauer,
erweicht des Herzens harte Felsengruft!
