by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

O Morgenrot! du steigst heraus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Morgenrot! du steigst heraus
Und findest mich im Bett schon aus;
Die Bänder und die Spangen,
Die liegen aus dem Tisch zuhaus
Und schauen her mit Prangen.

Doch in dem armen Herzen mein,
Da will kein Schein und Prangen sein 
An meinem Hochzeittage.
O läg ich in dem schwarzen Schrein,
Rings um mich Totenklage.

Ade! Ade! vielholdes Lieb! 
Ach du, der mir so treu verblieb, 
Du irrst nun in der Weite! 
Der meinen Schatz von dannen trieb,
Der geht an meiner Seite. 

Schon lärmt's im Hause ab und zu,
Vorüber ist die letzte Ruh';
Wo soll ich Trost erwerben? 
Allmächt'ger Gott! o lass' mich du 
Vor dem Altare sterben!
