by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724 - 1803)
Weine du nicht, o die ich innig liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Weine du nicht, o die ich innig liebe, Daß ein trauriger Tag von dir mich scheidet! Wenn [nun wieder]1 Hesperus dir dort lächelt, Komm', ich Glücklicher, wieder! Aber in dunkler Nacht ersteigst du Felsen, Schwebst in täuschender dunkler Nacht auf Wassern! Theilt' ich nur mit dir die Gefahr zu sterben; Würd', ich Glückliche, weinen?
