by Jakob Burckhardt (1818 - 1897)

Liebessehnsucht kommt so traut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebessehnsucht kommt so traut
Mit dem Abendroth gezogen,
Und ein thränend Auge schaut
Auf zum klaren Himmelsbogen.

Wenn dieß Abendroth erglüht
Auch auf Ihren holden Wangen,
Weckt es wohl Ihr im Gemüth
Unbewußtes Traumverlangen

Nach dem Fernen, der nicht wagt,
Blick und Wort zu Ihr zu heben.
Hör' im Traum, wie Liebe klagt,
Nur im Traum, mein süßes Leben!
