by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Lied, mit Tränen halb geschrieben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lied, mit Tränen halb geschrieben,
Dorthin über Berg und Kluft,
Wo die Liebste mein geblieben,
Schwing dich durch die blaue Luft!

Ist sie rot und lustig, sage:
Ich sei krank von Herzensgrund;
Weint sie nachts, sinnt still bei Tage,
Ja, dann sag: ich sei gesund!

Ist vorbei ihr treues Lieben,
Nun, so end auch Lust und Not,
Und zu allen, die mich lieben,
Flieg und sage: ich sei tot!
