by August von Platen-Hallermünde (1796 - 1835)

Duften nicht die Laubengänge?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Duften nicht die Laubengänge?
Hör' ich nicht [die Wipfel säuseln]1,
[Linde]2 Maienwinde kräuseln
[Den umbüschten stillen Rhein]3;
Daß mich nicht der Mittag senge,
Winken mir [verstohl'ne]4 Schatten,
[Rosenhage]5, Veilchenmatten,
Aber ach, ich bin allein!
 
Unterm blattgewebten Teppich
Hör' ich Nachtigallen schlagen,
Und die [leichtern]6 Echo tragen
Ihre Töne durch den Hain;
[Längs]7 der Eiche dehnt sich [Eppich]8,
[Wassernymphen]9 lockt die Quelle,
Wo mit Welle lispelt Welle,
Aber ach, ich bin allein.
