by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

So trostlos muß ich von dir gehn?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So trostlos muß ich von dir gehn? 
Du sagtest nicht  "auf Wiedersehn!"
Ich fühle mich wie schuldbewußt, 
Ich fühl' mich dir so ferne; 
Die Nacht ist schwül, wie meine Brust, 
Vom Himmel fallen die Sterne. 

Allein und finster schreit' ich fort, 
Versunken ist mit dir mein Hort; 
O daß ich dich verlieren mußt' 
In solche Seelenferne! 
Die Nacht ist schwül, wie meine Brust, 
Vom Himmel fallen die Sterne.
