Der Rose Pracht hat ihren Tag Und dann nicht mehr. Die Nachtigall schlägt ihren Schlag Und dann nicht mehr. Der Liebe Glück, es labt so lang, Bis es der Tod Gebettet in den Sarkophag, Und dann nicht mehr. Doch ewig ist auch nicht der Harm, Der dich zerreißt; Die Winde brausen durch den Hag, Und dann nicht mehr. Ja, diese Welt, die sämmtliche, -- Was kränkst du dich, Mein Herz, so sehr? -- hat ihren Tag, Und dann nicht mehr.

The splendor of the rose has its day And then no more. The nightingale jugs its song And then no more. The bliss of love, it delights so long Until death Has laid it in a sarcophagus, And then no more. But also not eternal is the grief That is tearing you apart; The winds surge through the grove And then no more. Yes, this world, the whole world, -- Why do you grieve So sorely, my heart? -- it has its day, And then no more.
