by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)
Vorwurf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du klagst, daß bange Wehmut dich beschleicht, weil sich der Wald entlaubt, und über deinem Haupt dahin der Wanderzug der Vögel streicht. O klage nicht, bist selber wandelhaft, denkst du der Liebesglut? Wie nun so traurig ruht in deiner Brust die müde Leidenschaft!
