by Adolf Böttger (1815 - 1870)

Ungestillt treibt mich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ungestillt treibt mich
Ruhloses Sehnen;
Lach' ich, so lach' ich
Nur unter Thränen.

Hör' ich von fremden
Lippen dich nennen,
Fühl' ich im Herzen
Schmerzliches Brennen.

Hat das Geschick doch
Geschlossen die Banden,
Eh' wir uns sahen
Und eh' wir uns sanden.

Denk' ich von anderer
Hand dich genecket,
Dich von des anderen
Küssen bedecket:

Wird das Gemach mir,
Die Welt mir zu enge,
Alle Gedanken
Sind im Gedränge.

Sehnen und Klagen
Ist all, was ich thue --
Mein Herz an deinem nur
Gibt mir die Ruhe! --
