by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
An Lili
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im holden Tal, auf schneebedeckten Höhen War stets dein Bild mir nah; Ich sah's um mich in lichten Wolken wehen, Im Herzen war mir's da. Empfinde hier, wie mit allmächt'gem Triebe Ein Herz das andre zieht, Und daß vergebens Liebe Vor Liebe flieht.
