by Johann Peter Eckermann (1792 - 1854)

Verloren
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Ich hatt' ein Täubchen
So lieb! so schön!
Ich mußt' es immer
Und immer sehn;
 
  War mir das Liebste
Der ganzen Welt,
Hätt's nicht gelassen
Um alles Geld.
 
  Das hab' ich verloren
Und such' es nun,
Und kann nicht bleiben,
Und kann nicht ruhn;
 
  Ich such's im Felde,
Ich such's im Hain,
Und find' es nimmer,
Und kehr' allein,
 
  Und [sehe]1 mit Thränen
Zur Ferne hinaus:
Es ist verloren!
Es bleibet aus!
