by Christian Hoeppl (1826 - 1862)

Da lieg' ich still und traure
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Da lieg' ich still und traure, 
Mein Herz ist von Weh erfüllt,
Voll Sehnsucht denk' ich wieder 
An ein entschwund'nes Bild.

O wärst du mir geblieben, 
Ein Engel zur Seite mir,
Ich wäre nimmer geworden 
Der düstere Fremdling hier.

Ich hätte mein Herz bewahret
Vor mancher wilden That:
Ich wäre so rein geblieben,
So rein, wie ich dir genaht.
