Der Brief
Language:
German
Es geht ein Wind von Westen,
die Linden stöhnen sehr,
der Mond lugt aus den Ästen
in meine Stube her.
Ich habe meiner Lieben,
die mich verlassen hat,
einen langen Brief geschrieben,
der Mond scheint auf das Blatt.
Bei seinem stillen Scheinen,
das über die Zeilen geht,
vergisst mein Herz vor Weinen Schlaf,
Mond und Nachtgebet.
