Choose for Diff
Durch die Waldnacht trabt mein Thier
Sacht beim Sterngefunkel,
All mein Glück liegt hinter mir,
Vor mir nichts als Dunkel.
Welke Blätter wirbeln wild
In des Sturms Gewimmer --
Lebewohl geliebtes Bild!
Lebewohl für immer!

Ach, wohl mag der Menschenbrust
Lieb' ein Himmel scheinen,
Doch nach allzuflücht'ger Lust
Giebt sie langes Weinen.
Sehnsucht ewig ungestillt
Folgt dem kurzen Schimmer --
Lebewohl geliebtes Bild!
Lebewohl für immer!
