by Hermann Hango (1861 - 1934)

Nachtschwalbe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dich lieb' ich, geisterhafter Schatten,
Der mich begleitet ohne Scheu
Durch Wald und abendliche Matten,
So wie Erinnerung, so treu;

So lind, wie ohne ein Verlangen
Das Denken ist an einst'ge Lust –
So dunkel wie das dunkle Hangen
An einem ewigen Verlust...

Confirmed with Neue Gedichte von Hermann Hango, Wien, Pest, Leipzig: A. Hartleben's Verlag, 1894, page 80.
