by August von Platen-Hallermünde (1796 - 1835)

Du denkst an mich so selten
 (Sung text for setting by J. Lang)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du denkst an mich so selten,
Ich denk' an dich so viel,
Getrennt in beiden Welten
Ist unser beider Ziel.
 
Ich möchte beide Welten
Durchziehn an deiner Hand,
Bald schlummern unter Zelten,
Bald gehn von Land zu Land.
 
Und willst du mir vergelten
Durch Liebe dies Gedicht,
Dann fließt um beide Welten
Ein rosenfarbnes Licht.

Note: In later editions of Platen’s works, there were some differences in the text of the second and third stanzas of the poem.
