by Christian August Gebauer (1792 - 1852)

Zieht die Lerch' im Herbste fort
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zieht die Lerch' im Herbste fort,
Singt sie leis' Ade! 
Willst du auch von mir ein Wort
Eh' ich von dir geh?

Hier die Thräne, so dir quoll,  
Höre was sie spricht: 
Lieder hat die Lerche wohl,
Thräne hat sie nicht!
