by Georg Scherer (1824 - 1909)

Weiter ziehn die Nachtigallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weiter ziehn die Nachtigallen, 
Wenn die Rosen sind verblüht, 
Und die Lieder, sie verhallen, 
Die erfreuten das Gemüth.  
Auch des Waldes bunter Reigen 
Klinget aus in tiefes Schweigen  --  
Denn es ziehn die Nachtigallen, 
Wenn die Rosen sind verblüht. 

Und des Liedes Engel scheidet, 
Wenn die Liebe Abschied nahm; 
Schweigend durch die Seele schreitet 
Dir das Unglück und der Gram;  
Nur Erinn'rung singt noch leise 
Ihre traurig-schöne Weise  --  
Denn des Liedes Engel scheidet, 
Wenn die Liebe Abschied nahm.
