by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Der Geier Schmerz flog nun davon
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Der Geier Schmerz flog nun davon,
Die Stätte, wo er saß, ist leer;
Nur unten tief in meiner Brust
Regt sich noch etwas, dumpf und schwer.

Das ist die Sehnsucht, die mit Qual
Um deine holde Nähe wirbt,
Doch, eh' sie noch das Herz erreicht,
Mutlos die Flügel senkt und stirbt.
