Sehnsucht III
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn die Nacht sich über die Welt senkt mit dem segnenden Schwingen, dann erwacht das Sehnen in mir. Nicht mehr kann ich's bezwingen. Dann erwacht' das Sehnen in mir nach entschwundene Tagen, wo ich der Liebe Leid und Lust in dem Herzen getragen. Wo ich ein leuchtendes Sternenpaar sah in mein Leben scheinen, teures Lieb! Wenn ich daran denke muß ich weinen, so bitterlich weinen.
