by Gottfried Keller (1819 - 1890)
Zwei Geliebte, treu verbunden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Zwei Geliebte, treu verbunden, Gehen durch die Welt spazoren, Jedes hat sein Herz verloren, Doch das Andre hat's gefunden. Jeder trägt die leichte Last Wie die Uhr am Kettchen fast. Also geht's auf Steg und Wegen Ruhig fort mit gleichen Schlägen. "Schau, die können's!" sagen ferne An der Himmelshöh' die Sterne. "Wer sind sie?" gleich schrei'n [sie]1 da: "Sigmund und Emilia!"
