by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Am Herde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Abend bin ich heimgekommen, 
Still saß die alte Mutter dort;
Ich saß bei ihr -- kurz und beklommen,
Da sprach sie leis: ,,Du willst noch fort?''

,,Ich weiß es wohl, zwei dunkle Augen 
Die sind dein Glück und sind mein Harm;
Will's dir daheim denn nimmer taugen?
Glänzt unser Feuer dir nicht warm?'' -- --

Ich sah sie au und ließ sie sagen,
Wie eine Wunde brennt ihr Wort; 
Ich hab' den Mantel umgeschlagen --
Der Nachtwind rauschte -- und gieng fort!

Confirmed with Wanderzeit. Ein Liederbuch von Karl Stieler, Stuttgart, Verlag von Adolf Bonz & Comp., 1882, p. 10.
