Die Erwartung
 (Sung text for setting by P. Viardot-García)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
(Sie.)
Still schau ich in die Nacht hinaus,
Wohin er nun gegangen,
Und blick' hinauf zum Vaterhaus
In meines Herzens Bangen.

Jetzt schlummert er in weiter Welt,
Von Gottes Aug' bewacht,
Des Himmels schönster Stern erhellt,
Die Liebe, unsre Nacht.

O, läs' ich in dem Sternenheer
Das Schicksal unsrer Liebe:
Ob nahe seine Wiederkehr?
Und ob er treu mir bliebe?
