by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
So hab ich wirklich dich verloren
Language: German (Deutsch)
So hab ich wirklich dich verloren, Bist du, o [Schöne]1, mir entflohn? Noch [klingt]2 in den gewohnten Ohren Ein jedes Wort, ein jeder Ton. So wie des Wandrers Blick am Morgen Vergebens in die Lüfte dringt, [Wenn]3, in dem blauen Raum verborgen, Hoch über ihm die Lerche singt: So dringet ängstlich hin und wieder Durch Feld und [Busch und Wald]4 mein Blick; Dich rufen alle meine Lieder; O komm, Geliebte, mir zurück!
