by Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856)

1. Nänie
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Unter den rothen Blumen,
Schlummere, lieb Vögelein!
Unter den rothen Blumen,
Graben wir traurig dich ein.

Hast uns so schön gesungen,
haben dich so sehr geliebt!
Kehlchen hat ausgeklungen,
Ach, wie mir sic das betrübt!

Hattest noch uns're Rosen
Mit deinem Lied geweckt.
Haben nun mit Zeitlosen
Vögelein dich zugedeckt!

2. Triolett
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Senkt die Nacht den sanften Fittig nieder,
Tönt der Zither flüsternder Akkord.
Es entbehrt die Lippe gern das Wort,
Senkt die Nacht den sanften Fittig nieder.
Auch verstummend preisen dich die Lieder,
Holde Nacht, der Liebe treuer Hort!
Senkt die Nacht den sanften Fittig nieder,
Tönt der Zither flüsternder Akkord.
