by Alois Valenta (1830 - 1918)

Wer einmal recht empfunden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer einmal recht empfunden 
  Der Trennung Höllenschmerz,
Wenn's zuckt, und bebt, und schaudert
  Das arme Menschenherz; 

Der kennt das tiefste Wehe,
  Was 's hier auf Erden giebt,
Denn schlimmer noch als sterben,
  Ist Trennung -- wenn man liebt.
