by Johann Friedrich Rochlitz (1769 - 1842)

Meine Ruh' ist dahin
 (Sung text for setting by F. Danzi)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Meine Ruh' ist dahin,
Meine Freud' ist entflohn;
In dem Säuseln der Lüfte,
In dem Murmeln des Bachs,
Hör' ich bebend nur Klageton.

Seinem schmeichelnden Wort
Und dem Druck seiner Hand,
Seinem heißen Verlangen,
Seinem glühenden Kuß -
Weh mir, daß ich nicht widerstand!

Wenn ich von fern Ihn seh,
Will ich ihn zu mir ziehn;
Kaum entdeckt mich sein Auge,
Kaum tritt näher er mir,
Möcht' ich in mein Grab entfliehn.

Einmal, ach einmal	
Möcht' ich ihn glücklich sehn
Hier, am klopfenden Herzen;
An der sehnenden Brust;
Wollte dann lächelnd untergehn! -
