by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Mondmythus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sah heut früh im Brunnen tief
Zwei Liebende allein, 
Die schöne Morgenröthe schlief 
Beim bleichen Mondenschein. 
Sie küßten sich von Herzen 
Mit lichtem Purpurmund,
Ein wellenheimlich Scherzen 
War um die Morgenstund'.

"Schlüpf' schnell in deine gold'nen Schuh', 
O rosenfing'rig Kind, 
Des Himmels Thore gehen zu, 
Geh' heim, geh' heim geschwind!"
Voll Angst sah in die Höhe
Das holde Morgenroth:
Da sieht es oben, wehe, 
Den bleichen Liebling todt! --
