Trennung
 (Sung text for setting by C. Unger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Welche Mißgunst hat zur Plage
Armer Liebe dich erdacht?
Welcher Gott erschuf dich, sage,
Nacht der Trennung, lange Nacht?

Ohne Mondlicht, ohne Sterne,
Ohne Lied der Nachtigall,
Drückt auf alle Näh' und Ferne
Deiner Nebel dunkler Schwall.

Ungesehn und still wie Geister,
Die von Stern zu Sterne ziehn,
Wandelt nur die blasse Sehnsucht,
Leise klagend, her und hin.
