by Richard Pohl (1826 - 1896)
Still schau ich in die Nacht hinaus
Language: German (Deutsch)
(Sie.) Still schau ich in die Nacht hinaus, Wohin er nun gegangen, Und blick' hinauf zum Vaterhaus In meines Herzens Bangen. Jetzt schlummert er in weiter Welt, Von Gottes Aug' bewacht, Des Himmels schönster Stern erhellt, Die Liebe, unsre Nacht. O, läs' ich in dem Sternenheer Das Schicksal unsrer Liebe: Ob nahe seine Wiederkehr? Und ob er treu mir bliebe?
