Zu dir, mein Herzenssehnen

Zu dir, mein Herzenssehnen,
in dir, mein volles Leben,
in dir ertrinken Tränen,
zu dir die Wellen schweben.

Die Luft ist gar zu schwüle,
die Ruhe gar zu linde,
der Donner rollen viele
im stillen, warmen Winde.

Ich hör sie sonst so gerne,
am Tage still Verlangen,
erwecken sie der Sterne,
heut will mich alles bangen.

by Karl Joachim ("Achim") Friedrich Ludwig von Arnim (1781-1831)
