Abbitte

Language: German

Heilig Wesen! gestört hab ich die goldene 
Götterruhe dir oft, und der [geheimeren]1,
Tieferen Schmerzen des Lebens
Hast du manche gelernt von mir.

O vergiß es, vergib! gleich dem Gewölke dort
Vor dem friedlichen Mond, geh ich dahin, und du
Ruhst und [glänzt]2 in deiner
Schöne wieder, du süßes Licht!
