by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Ich lieg' im tiefen Schachte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich lieg' im tiefen Schachte,
Ein rother Edelstein,
Von Nacht bedeckt, und schmachte
Zu glühn im lichten Schein.

Da droben geht die Sonne;
Ich träume manch Gedicht
Von ihrer Strahlenwonne --
Aber sie sieht mich nicht.
