by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Grün war die Weide
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Grün war die Weide,
Der Himmel blau,
Wir saßen beide
Auf glänzender Au.

Sind's Nachtigallen
Wieder, was ruft,
Lerchen, die schallen
Aus warmer Luft?

Ich hör die Lieder,
Fern, ohne dich,
Lenz ist's wohl wieder,
Doch nicht für mich.
