by Therese Dahn, née Freiin Droste zu Hülshoff (1845 - 1929)

Tief zur Nachtzeit, einsam spät
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tief zur Nachtzeit, einsam spät,
  Fahr' ich vom Schlummer empor:
Er ist's, der noch vorüber geht,
  Gut kennt den Tritt mein Ohr.

Er irrt die Wege rastlos hin, --
  Er verblutet in Herzensnoth: --
Und ach! ich weiß, daß ich es bin,
  Die ihm gebracht den Tod.
