by Alfred von Meißner (1822 - 1885)

Sollen wir geschieden sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sollen wir geschieden sein,
Sei es ganz!  Nichts mahne mehr 
Mich an alte Lust und Pein,  --  
Meine Nacht sei sternenleer!  

Miss' ich deines Aug's Azur, 
Sei es Nacht um mich und still; 
Fort das Mondlicht, das mir nur 
Irre Trümmer zeigen will! 

Lieber Gift, das macht doch frei, 
Ich empfang's mit mind'rem Groll 
Als des Mitleids Arzenei, 
Die mich langsam heilen soll.
