by August Heinrich Julius Lafontaine (1758 - 1831)

Du gehst so traurig durch die Wolken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du gehst so traurig durch die Wolken, 
Und suchst, und findest nicht, 
O Mond!  und füllest alle Blumen 
Mit deiner Thränen Thau. 
Gewiß, gewiß, du weinst: 
Du bist allein, wie ich! 

Ich folge deinem hohen Gange, 
Mit stillem Trauerblick, 
Und sanfte Töne meiner Laute 
Begleiten immer dich. 
Ich weine, Mond, mit dir:  
Ich bin allein, wie du!
