by Thekla Lingen (1866 - 1931)

Erwartung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein still Gemach füllt deiner Rosen Duft,
Und meine Sehnsucht webt in Träumen
Dein Bildnis in die Luft -
O kämst du doch!
Was soll dein Säumen?
Führt dich kein Wunsch in meine Nähe?
Ich drücke an die Scheiben mein Gesicht
Und spähe - -
Der Mond steht längst im Garten,
Durch stille Zweige bricht sein weisses Licht -
Dich seh ich nicht!

Confirmed with Thekla Lingen, Am Scheidewege, Zweite und vermehrte Auflage, Schuster & Loeffler, Berlin und Leipzig, 1900, page 34.
