by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)
Der Genesene an die Hoffnung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tödtlich graute mir der Morgen: Doch schon lag mein Haupt, wie süß! Hoffnung, dir im Schoß verborgen, bis der Sieg gewonnen hieß, bis der Sieg gewonnen hieß. Opfer bracht' ich allen Göttern, Doch vergessen warest du; Seitwärts von den ew'gen Rettern Sahest du dem Feste zu. O, vergieb, du Vielgetreue! Tritt aus deinem Dämmerlicht, Daß ich dir in's ewig neue, Mondenhelle Angesicht Einmal schaue, recht von Herzen, Wie ein Kind und sonder Harm; Ach, nur Einmal ohne Schmerzen schließe mich in deinen Arm!
