Franz Grillparzer: Sehnsucht nach Liebe

Sehnsucht nach Liebe

Alles liebet, alles scherzet
In der fröhlichen Natur;
Alles küsset, alles herzet
Auf den Höhn in Wald und Flur!

Läßt der holde Lenz sich nieder,
Sanft umschwärmt vom lauen West,
Senkt der Vogel sein Gefieder,
Bauet liebend sich ein Nest.

Und der Löwe flieht das Morden,
Das sonst höchste Lust ihm schafft;
Er verläßt der Brüder Horden,
Huldigt Amors Zauberkraft.

Und dir soll ich mich entziehen,
Die uns menschlich fühlen lehrt?
Liebe! ach, dich soll ich fliehen,
Die der Tiger selbst verehrt?

Ich allein nur soll dich meiden,
Holde Spenderin der Lust?
Ich soll wilde Tiere neiden
Um das Fühlen ihrer Brust?

Nein! dem schönsten aller Triebe
Sei mein fühlend Herz geweiht!
Schenke mir Themirens Liebe,
Amor, Gott der Zärtlichkeit!

Franz Seraphicus Grillparzer
(Wien 1791 – 1872)
Sehnsucht nach Liebe (Gedicht)
