Midnight.
Night lonesome and quiet lies over
'the city; ^ ^ , „ ,
And this is the house that she lived
in of yore; .
A lifetime ago it seems since she left
it,
Yet it stands just the same with
each window and door.
£nd dim in the moonlight a man, it
seems, standing,
And wringing his hands, all dis-
heveled and stark. |
He stares at her window,—and in
awful amazement j
^XJs pay own face I see through the
shadowy dark.
Ah, wretcheaest ghost of my loBt per-
ished boyhood, J
To be mimioing thus my lore’s
yduthful despair, J
That drove me of old to rave as thou
r&V6st
In those’long nights of hell ’neath
her dark window there.
Fame and Sorrow.
When along the street each morning,
Before the door I pass,
Thy sweet face at the window
I see, my dainty lass,
Thy dear brown eyes gaze on me
In pity and despair—
vThou strange sad man, who ai^ thou
What sorrow doBts thou bear 7”
I am that German poet,
TO all good Germans known;
When their best names are mentioned
They always narpe my own.
What grieves me, little darling.
Is to all good Germans known;
When their wortsigriefs are mentioned
They always name my own 1
