by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Das ist ein seltsam Geh'n
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das ist ein seltsam Geh'n:
Die Tritte schallen;
Ich hör' den Südwind weh'n
Und Blätter fallen.

Die Bäche rauschen stumm,
Die regensatten;
Ich zieh' dahin -- rundum
Nur Schatten, Schatten!

Gewölk voll dunkler Kraft -
Ich zieh' so trübe -
Verstummt vor Leidenschaft -
Verirrt vor Liebe! - -
