by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

Scheu
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Unglück hat sein Herz gespalten,
Laßt den stillen Mann allein;
Wie sich nicht genaht die Alten
Einem blitzgetroffnen Hain.

Stört mit Worten nicht des Streitrs,
Nicht mit Liebe seinen Schmerz;
Ehret als ein blitzgeweihtes
Enelysion dieses Herz.
