by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)
Im stillen Klostergarten
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Im stillen]1 Klostergarten Eine bleiche Jungfrau ging; Der Mond beschien sie trübe, An ihrer Wimper hing Die Träne zarter Liebe. "O wohl mir, daß gestorben Der treue Buhle mein! Ich darf ihn wieder lieben: Er wird ein Engel sein, Und Engel darf ich lieben." Sie trat mit zagem Schritte Wohl zum [Mariabild]2; Es stand [im lichten]3 Scheine, Es sah so muttermild Herunter auf die Reine. Sie sank zu seinen Füßen, Sah auf mit Himmelsruh', Bis ihre Augenlider Im Tode fielen zu: [Ihr]4 Schleier wallte nieder.
