by Ludwig Gotthard Theobul Kosegarten (1758 - 1818)

Von Agnes
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Morgen blüht,
Der Osten glüht;
Es lächelt aus dem dünnen Flor
Die Sonne matt und krank hervor.
Denn ach mein Liebling flieht!

Auf welcher Flur,
Auf wessen Spur,
So fern von Agnes [wallst du izt]1,
O du, der ganz mein Herz besizt,
Du Liebling der Natur!

Vernimmst du auch
Im Morgenhauch
Das Ach, das Agnes Brust entächzt,
Das Sehnen drinn ihr Herz zerlechzt
Im kühlen Morgenhauch?

Was ahnest du,
Der Agnes Ruh
Und Agnes Freuden mit sich nahm?
Ach ahnest du wohl Agnes Gram,
Und flehst für Agnes Ruh?

O kehre um!
Kehr' um, kehr' um!
Zu deiner Einsamtrauernden!
Zu deiner Ahnungsschauernden!
Zu deiner Agnes um!
