by Otto Roquette (1824 - 1896)

Sie liebt mich nicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Hinweg, mein Aug'! In jener Thalesweite
  Erlosch das Licht.
Einsame Qual, komm du mein Nachtgeleite,
  Sie liebt mich nicht!

Was Menschen je mit Freud' und Lust empfanden 
  Vergaß ich schier,
Mein Stolz, und all mein Wesen ward zu Schanden,
  Was wird aus mir?

Muß ich für ewig unauflösbar wähnen
  Dies Schmerzgewicht?
Dem Aug' entstürzt ein Strom von heißen Thränen --
  Sie liebt mich nicht! 

Confirmed with Gedichte von Otto Roquette. Des Liederbuches zweite, durchaus veränderte und vermehrte Auflage, Stuttgart. J. G. Cotta'scher Verlag, 1859, p. 83
