Pedros Klagen
 (Sung text for setting by J. Amon)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was ist's, was ich verhehle
in tief beklomm'ner Brust?
O Wunsch der kranken Seele,
wem ist dein Ziel bewusst?

Die sanften Sterne neigen
sich mild herab ins Tal,
und in dem heil'gen Schweigen
verberg' ich Lieb' und Qual!

Wo ist das Ziel der Schmerzen,
das meine Sehnsucht meint?
Wo frei sich Herz mit Herzen
und Geist mit Geist vereint?

Ach, armes Herz! Auf Erden,
wo Rang und Stand uns trennt,
wird nie das Glück dir werden,
das deine Sehnsucht kennt!

Confirmed with Journal für deutsche Frauen, von deutschen Frauen geschrieben, 2. Heft, Leipzig, Februar 1805
