by Barbara Elisabeth Glück (1814 - 1894), as Betty Paoli

Ein tiefer Riß geht mitten durch mein...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein tiefer Riß geht mitten durch mein Herz! 
Was es verlangt, kann ihm die Welt nicht geben,
Denn nicht das Glück der Welt will es erstreben;
Es sehnt sich nicht nach Lust, Genuß und Scherz.
Du bist sein Alles! Muß es dich vermissen,
Will es von keiner feigen Tröstung wissen
Und nicht entweihen seinen heil'gen Schmerz 
Kalt läßt mich alles Trachten, alles Ringen;
Und, was auch meinem Geist noch mag geling,
Ein tiefer Riß geht mitten durch mein Herz!
