by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825 - 1898)

Geh' nicht, die Gott für mich erschuf!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Geh' nicht, die Gott für mich erschuf!
Laß scharren deiner Rosse Huf
Den Reiseruf!

Du willst von meinem Herde fliehn?
Und weißt ja nicht, wohin, wohin
Dich deine Rosse ziehn!

Die Stunde rinnt! Das Leben jagt!
Wir haben uns noch nichts gesagt
Bleib bis es tagt!

Du darfst aus meinen Armen fliehn?
Und weißt ja nicht, wohin, wohin
Dich deine Rosse ziehn...
