by Fritz Dannemann (1834 - 1883)

Wie die Blätter von den Bäumen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie die Blätter von den Bäumen 
Sterbend sinken in den Staub, 
Krankt in meines Herzens Träumen 
Junger Liebe Frühlingslaub.  

Düstern Nebeln, die vergebens 
Matter Sonnenschein  durchbricht, 
Gleicht die Hoffnung meines Lebens  --  
Mit verhülltem Angesicht.  

Und in meinen blassen Wangen 
Zuckt des Winters eis'ger Hohn;  
Seit du von mir bist gegangen 
Ist das Glück von mir geflohn.
