by Richard Pohl (1826 - 1896)

Mein Leib ist hier gefesselt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
(Er.) 
Mein Leib ist [hier]1 gefesselt, 
Doch meine Seele bei dir, 
So schreit' ich, ein Lebend-Todter, 
Fort durch der Welt Gewirr. 

Nachtwandler bin ich geworden, 
Der suchend die Augen schließt: 
Zum Leben kehr' ich erst wieder, 
Wenn du mich wach geküßt.
