by Ricarda Octavia Huch (1864 - 1947)

Allein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In der Sommernacht heimliches Rauschen 
Horch' ich träumend hinaus. 
Fern bist du  --  warum muß ich lauschen? 
Du kommst nimmer zu Haus. 

Überm See her aus schaukelnden Böten 
Tönt Musik und Gesang; 
Antwort schluchzt auf das Weinen der Flöten 
Echo sehnend und bang. 

Confirmed with Ricarda Octavia Huch, Gedichte, zweite vermehrte Auflage, Leipzig: H. Haessel Verlag, 1908, page 150.
