by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

O was bleibt dem armen Herzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[O was]1 bleibt dem armen Herzen,
Wenn die schöne Liebe floh!

Heimlich zehrt an mir ein Wehe
Nach den süßen Jugendscherzen,
Da ich in der Holden Nähe
Tage lebte still und froh;
Und verwaiset im Gemüte
Fühl' ich's unter bittern Schmerzen:
Einmal bringt der Lenz die Blüte,
Aber auch nur einmal so.

O was bleibt dem armen Herzen,
Wenn die schöne Liebe floh!
