by Emil Taubert (1844 - 1895)

Sehnsucht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Jeden Morgen schau' ich aus
Ob mein Schatz kommt aus der Ferne,
Wind' ihm einen frischen Strauss,
Schmückt' ihn, herzt' ihn gar so gerne!
Doch die Blumen welken bald,
Und die Nacht sinkt still und kalt!
Thränendunkel feldhinaus
Gehn die Augensterne.

Eh' die letzte Blume stirbt,
Komm, Geliebter, du Getreuer!
Bräutlich sehnend um dich wirbt
Dieses Herz, verzehrt von Feuer!
Ruft, ihr Lüfte, ruft ihn her,
Tragt ihn über Fels und Meer,
Eh' die letzte Blume stirbt,
Komm, o komm, Getreuer!
