by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Klage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Nun aus hohem]1 Walde 
[Schwebt]2 der Mond empor, 
Auf die lichte Halde
Wagt das Wild sich vor. 

Jetzt in lauter Klage,
Die mein einsam Herz
Stumm durchirrt am Tage,
Schweift hinaus mein Schmerz. 

Ach, es kommt die [Hinde]3,
[Die]4 den Hirsch vernimmt,
Wenn umsonst im [Winde]5
Mein Gesang verschwimmt.
