by Johann Gustav Droysen (1808 - 1884)

Wiederseh'n
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wir trugen unverdrossen,
was uns die Trennung Liebes nahm;
die Zeit ist nun verflossen,
der Trennung Zeit, der ferne Gram.
O deine Hand, und deine
hält nun ewig meine!

Und wir gedenken heiter
vergang'ner gut' und böser Zeit
und denken freudig weiter,
und keine Zukunft tut uns leid.
Gar schön ist's uns gegeben,
gar wundersüßes Leben.
