by Joseph Samuel Tauber (1822 - 1879)
Liederbote
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hab' es nicht der Nacht geklagt, dass du nie wirst mein eigen; die Nacht entschlummert, wenn es tagt, und Mond und [Sterne]1 schweigen. Vicht Vöglein klagt' ich meinen Schmerz, nicht [Rosen]2, frisch und helle; die Vöglein ziehen südenwärts, und [Rosen]2 welken schnelle. Ich klagt' es nur dem Lied, dem Klang, die sagen dir es wieder; [ja, ewig, ewig lebt Gesang]3, und [immer]4 dauern Lieder.
