by Ludwig Jacobowski (1868 - 1900)

Geh fort
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Geh' fort von hier,
Weit fort von mir!
Die Gegenwart macht mich beklommen;
Mein Herz will nicht zu Atem kommen:
Geh' fort von hier!

Die Winde plaudern
Nur von dir!
Blick, Hauch und Ton sind tausend Schlingen,
Die nahen schon, mich hinzuzwingen.
O, lass von mir!

Ich will dich segnen
Für und für;
Auf fremdem Stern such' Heim und Hütte,
Sonst hörst du meine Tränenbitte:
Bleib' hier! Bleib' hier!
