Von dunklem Schleier umsponnen
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Von dunklem]1 Schleier umsponnen Ist mir das Tageslicht; Wohl steigen neue Sonnen, -- Ich seh' sie nicht. Mir schweift der Blick hinüber In Weiten, dämmerfern; [Vom]2 Himmel blinkt ein trüber, Einsamer Stern. Ein Mädchen, bleich von Wangen, Winkt mir von drüben zu: "Ich bin vorangegangen, Was zögerst du?"
