Furcht der Geliebten

Cidli, du weinest, und ich schlummre sicher,
Wo im Sande der Weg verzogen fortschleicht;
Auch wenn stille Nacht ihn umschattend decket,
Schlummr' ich ihn sicher.

Wo er sich endet, wo ein Strom das Meer wird,
Gleit ich über den Strom, der sanfter aufschwillt;
Denn der mich begleitet, der Gott gebot's ihm.
Weine nicht, Cidli!

by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1803) , "Furcht der Geliebten", from Oden
