Das Heimweh Lyrics by Fanny Mendelssohn

Zwölf Gesänge, Op. 8

0

Was ist's, das mir den Atem hemmet
Und selbst den Seufzer unterdrückt?
Das stets in jeden Weg sich stemmet
Und Sinn und Geist mir so verrückt?
Es ist das Heimweh! O Schmerzenslaut!
O Schmerzenslaut, wie klingst im Innern mir vertraut!
Was ist's, das mir den Willen raubet
Zu jeder Tat mich mutlos macht?
Das mir die Flur, so grün belaubet
Verwandelt in Gefängnissnacht?
Es ist das Heimweh! O Jammerton!
O Jammerton, wie lange tönst im Herzen schon!
Was ist's, das mich erstarrt und brennet
Und jede Freud' und Lust vergällt?
Giebt es kein Wort, das dieses nennet
Giebt es kein Wort in dieser Welt?
Es ist das Heimweh! O herbes Weh!
O herbes Weh! Die Heimat, ach! ich nimmer seh'
