by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Wie meine Träume nach dir schrei'n
 (Sung text for setting by K. Löbl)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie meine Träume nach dir schrein.
Wir sind uns mühsam fremd geworden,
jetzt will es mir die Seele morden,
dies arme, bange Einsamsein.

Kein Hoffen, das die Segel bauscht.
Nur diese weite, weiße Stille,
in die mein tatenloser Wille
in atemlosem Bangen lauscht.
