So ich traurig bin

So ich traurig bin
Weiß ich nur ein Ding:
Ich denke mich bei dir
Und singe dir ein Lied.
Fast vernehme ich dann
Deiner Stimme Klang.
Ferne singt sie nach
Und minder wird mein Gram.

by Stefan George (1868-1933) , no title, from Das Buch der Sagen und Sänge, in Sänge eines fahrenden Spielmanns, no. 5
