by Theodor Mommsen (1817 - 1903)

Nähe in der Ferne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schon verrauscht ist Spiel und Scherz,
Hab' mich müd' getrieben,
Und es ist das liebe Herz
Einzig wach geblieben.

Blicke, lieb und traumesschwer,
Fühl' ich zu mir dringen,
Einen Liebesknoten mehr
Zu den andern schlingen.

Leise klinget wie Gedicht
Zu mir ihr Geflüster,
Leise, leise, daß es nicht
Störe die Geschwister.

Und des Tages Lust und Schmerz
Sag' ich meiner Lieben,
Und es ist das liebe Herz
Einzig wach geblieben.
