Text

Von Ida
German source: Kosegarten, Ludwig

Der Morgen blüht;
Der Osten glüht;
Es lächelt aus dem dünnen Flor
Die Sonne matt und krank hervor.
Denn ach, mein Liebling flieht!

Auf welcher Flur,
Auf wessen Spur,
So fern von Iden wallst du itzt,
O du, der ganz mein Herz besitzt,
Du Liebling der Natur?

O kehre um!
Kehr’ um, kehr’ um!
Zu deiner Einsamtraurenden!
Zu deiner Ahndungschaurenden!
Mein Einziger, kehr’ um!
