by Emil Rudolf Weiss (1875 - 1942)

Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FIN FRE
Oft am langen Tage
Seufz' ich, ach! nach dir,
Fühl' ich dich mir nahe,
Sprech ich so mit dir.

In der kühlen Frühe
Aufgewacht zu mir,
Fühl' ich, was uns trennet,
Seufz' ich, ach! nach dir.

Seh' dein Auge schauen
Liebevoll zu mir,
Schaut mich an und weilet
Einen Blick bei mir,

Geht von mir am Tage,
Kommt zurück zu mir,
Wenn ich nach dir klage,
Schweigend und in mir.

Schmerz und Trost der Schmerzen
Bist in einem mir,
Oft am langen Tage
Seufz' ich, ach! nach dir.
