Nachklang
Language:
German
Es klingt so prächtig, wenn der Dichter
Der Sonne bald dem Kaiser sich vergleicht;
Doch er verbirgt die traurigen Gesichter,
Wenn er in düstern Nächten schleicht.
Von Wolken streifenhaft befangen,
Versank zu Nacht des Himmels reinstes Blau;
Vermagert [bleich]1 sind meine Wangen
Und meine Herzenstränen grau.
Laß mich nicht so [der]2 Nacht, [dem Schmerze,]3
Du Alllerliebstes, du mein Mondgesicht!
O du mein Phosphor, meine Kerze,
Du meine Sonne, du mein Licht!
