Alt farer hen som Vinden

Alt farer hen som Vinden,
Her er ei blivende Sted.
Snart svinder Rosen paa Kinden,
[Smilet og - Taarerne med]1.

Hvorfor være bedrøvet,
Hen farer Sorg og Fortræd,
Alt farer hen, som Løvet,
Tiden og Mennesket med.

Alt er Forsvinden -Forsvinden,
Ungdom, dit Haab og din Ven!
Alt farer hen som Vinden,
Og kommer aldrig igjen.

Und kehrt nie wieder

Alles, wie Wind, verwehet,
nichts bleibt an seinem Ort.
Der Wangen Rose gehet,
wie auch ihr Leuchten, fort.

Sei froh, dass alles gehet,
auch Angst und Pein und Sorgen.
Wie Laub, vom Wind verwehet,
weicht Heute rasch dem Morgen.

Ein jegliches vergehet,
Freund’, Hoffnung, Jugendlieder,
alles, wie Wind, verwehet
und kehrt nie wieder.
