by Wilhelmine Gräfin Wickenburg-Almasy (1845 - 1890)

Bald ist die Sonne gegangen hinab hinter's Felsenjoch
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bald ist die Sonne gegangen
hinab hinters Felsenjoch;
ich halte dich fest umfangen,
wie lange, wie lange noch?

Und will der Tag verblassen,
dann winken die Sterne sacht;
doch wenn du mich verlassen,
dann ist es rabenschwarze Nacht.

Dann pfeift das heisere Käuzlein
an meinem Fensterrand,
dann legt man schwarze Kreuzlein
auch mir bald in die starre Hand.
