by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Von Sorgen wie bin ich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Von Sorgen wie bin ich 
Umstrickt und befangen! 
Kein Liebster herzinnig 
Im Arme mich hält!
In Lüften da hangen
Die Sterne mit Prangen;
Doch ach -
ohne Liebe
Wie dunkel die Welt!

Gar lustig zusammen 
Vier Äugelein scheinen, 
In seligen Flammen 
Einander gesellt.
Vertrübt sind die meinen
Von Wachen und Weinen;
Denn ach -
ohne Liebe
Wie dunkel die Welt!
