by Johann Peter Eckermann (1792 - 1854)

Verlor'nes Glück
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Von des Abendwindes feuchtem Flügel
Schauerlich umweht,
Stand so einsam ich auf jenem Hügel
Wo die Mühle steht.

Meine Blicke schweiften in die Ferne
Ach, so weit hinaus!
Dann zur Seite nach dem hellen Sterne
Über Liebchens Haus.

Lieber Stern, du bist mir treu geblieben,
Blickst noch immer hell;
Schönes Mädchen, dein versprochnes Lieben
Ach, entfloh so schnell!

Lieber Stern, sonst blinktest du zur Freude
Über Liebchens Haus,
Meine Blicke schweifen nun zum Leide
Ach, so weit hinaus!
