by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)
Schlaflos
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus Träumen in Ängsten bin ich erwacht; Was singt doch die Lerche so tief in der Nacht! Der Tag ist gegangen, der Morgen ist fern, Aufs Kissen hernieder scheinen die Stern'. Und immer hör' ich den Lerchengesang; O Stimme des Tages, mein Herz ist bang.
