by Mary Graf-Bartholemew (b. 1832)

Mir bist du tot
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 Mir bist du tot und ob auch deine Wange
 Im ersten Rot des Jugendfrühlings prange,
 Noch blonde Locken dir das Haupt umziehn. 

 Ich sarg' dich ein, dich und die Lieb' in Tränen.
 Vergessen aber darfst du dich nicht wähnen;
 Ich kann ja dem Gedanken nicht enffliehn.

 Mir bist du tot. Wohl warst du einst mir teuer.
 Mit Tränen lösch'ich aus der Liebe feuer,
 Durch Nacht und Dunkel geht fortan mein Pfad.
