by (Agnes) Mathilde Wesendonck, née Luckemeyer (1828 - 1902)

Im Herzen trübe und traurig
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Herzen [trübe]1 und traurig
  Da [seufzt]2 ein tiefes Weh,
So abgrundsvoll und schaurig,
  [Wohl]3 wie die tiefe See.

Und Seufzer streichen als Winde
Hinüber, herüber die Fluth,
Erinn'rung strahlet linde
Darein wie Abendgluth.

Als Schifflein segelt die Hoffnung
Von Sehnsucht getrieben [vom]4 Strand,
Es [schwanket]5 in wilder Brandung,
Stößt nimmermehr an's Land!
