by Friedrich Leopold, Graf zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1750 - 1819)

Nachruf des Jünglings
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mädchen, frage nicht die Lüfte,
Nicht die kühlen Abenddüfte!
   Hesper, Luna, Nachtigall
Fühlen nicht dein leises Sehnen,
Können deuten deine Thränen
   Im geheimen Mondenstrahl.

Ich nur kann's! ich kann's, du Süße!
Mädchen, eil' in meine Küsse!
   Sauge Lieb' um Liebe ein!
Wer da einsam will genießen,
Wird mit bittern Thränen büßen.
   Laß mich dein auf ewig seyn!

Confirmed with Gedichte der Brüder Christian und Friedrich Leopold Grafen zu Stolberg, Erster Theil, Wien: Im Verlage bei J.B. Wallishausser, Hamburg: bei Perthes und Besser, 1821, page 235, part of "Oden, Lieder und Balladen. Erster Theil."
