Vorüber
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich legte mich unter den Lindenbaum,
In dem die Nachtigall schlug;
Sie sang mich in den süßesten Traum,
Der währte auch lange genug.
Denn nun ich erwache, nun ist sie fort,
Und welk bedeckt mich das Laub;
Doch leider noch nicht, wie am dunklern Ort,
Verglühte Asche der Staub.

Passé
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
J'étais allongé sous le tilleul,
Dans lequel chantait le rossignol.
Son chant me plongea dans le plus doux des rêves,
Qui dura assez longtemps.
Puis, quand je me réveillai, il était parti
Et j'étais couvert de feuilles mortes ;
Mais hélas la poussière ne recouvrait pas,
Comme en de sombres lieux, des cendres refroidies.
