by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Zum Abschiede
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Schöne Stunden sind verschwunden,
Und wir hatten sie so gern!
Was in Freuden sich gefunden,
Was zu Freuden sich verbunden,
Ist getrennt und wieder fern.

Nur nicht klagen, nur nicht zagen!
Schönes kann nie ganz vergehn.
Freuet euch! Uns ist geblieben 
Unser Hoffen, unser Lieben:
Gott giebt uns ein Wiedersehn.

Confirmed with Hoffmann's von Fallersleben Gesammelte Werke, Herausgegeben von Dr. Heinrich Gerstenberg, Erster Band Lyrische Gedichte Berlin: F. Fontane, 1890, pages 138-139.
