Der verlorene Schlüssel
Language: German (Deutsch)
Meine Brust umschließt ein Band, So fest, als wär‘s aus Eisen schwer; Und wenn ich es zerreißen möcht‘, So zieht sich‘s enger mehr und mehr. Wer vermag es nur zu lösen? Sieh, es ist ein Schloss am Band! Und ich bin mir ganz gewiss: Der Schlüssel ist in Deiner Hand. „Ach, der Schlüssel ist verloren – Glaube mir, es tut mir leid! Das Band, es mag von selbst sich lösen Irgendwann, in ferner Zeit.“
