by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Mainebel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Glückselige Zeit! wenn jedes Reis 
Voll Blüthen prangt im grünen Feld, 
Der Hain ertönt von neuem Preis, 
Und jedes Wölkchen sich erhellt.
  Doch, sieh! ein trüber Nebel bald 
Verhüllt die Frühlingswonne ganz, 
Das Himmelblau, den Blüthenwald, 
Und, ach! der Matten goldnen Glanz!

  O Jugendzeit! o Jugendzeit,
Die hold du wie der Lenz gelacht!
Ihr Tage voller Herrlichkeit, 
Voll Duft und Glanz und Lust und Pracht! 
  Wann kommt, wann kommt der Sonnenschein,
Der, ach! den Nebel mir durchbricht? --
O Jugendzeit! wirst nimmer mein 
Im alten ungetrübten Licht!

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 41-42.
