by Carl Hepp (1841 - 1912)

Ein Reif ist gefallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CHI
Ein Reif ist gefallen 
Ganz über Nacht,
Der hat alle Blüten
Erfrieren gemacht. 

Da liegen sie alle,
Wie gestern so bunt,
Da liegen sie alle
Vom Froste so wund. 

Ein Reif ist gefallen
Auf's Liebchen zugleich,  -- 
Wie kalt deine Rede,
Die früher so reich! 

Was blickst so verlegen?
Was sprichst du so hart,
Wie nimmer vor Zeiten
An dir ich gewahrt? 

Ein Reif ist gefallen  -- 
Nicht gestern, nicht heut  -- 
Auf Blumen und Liebchen
Und was mich gefreut,

Vor vielen Jahren!
Und immer noch zagt 
Mein Herz, wenn ich denk', 
Was sie damals gesagt.
