Sehnsucht
 (Sung text for setting by E. Zeisl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie ich dich überall sehe, du Meine
Und Eine! 
Immer du so fern-nah!
Gegenwärtig und doch nicht da!
Immer nur Spuren und Spuren. --
Viel, ach! wie viel! 
Im Wandern folg' ich ihnen, 
Zu welchem Ziel?
O du, o Dunkelgewillte!
Wann empfängt der Niegestillte 
Seine Ruh' --
