by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Ich wandre fort ins ferne Land
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich wandre fort [ins ferne]1 Land, Noch einmal blickt' ich um, bewegt, Und sah, wie sie den Mund geregt, Und wie gewinket ihre Hand. Wohl rief sie noch ein freundlich Wort Mir nach auf meinem trüben Gang, Doch hört' ich nicht den liebsten Klang, Weil ihn der Wind getragen fort. Daß ich mein Glück verlassen muß, Du rauher, kalter Windeshauch, Ist's nicht genug, daß du mir auch Entreißest ihren letzten Gruß?
