by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Mich hat der Herbst betrogen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Mich hat der Herbst betrogen,
  Dir, Mutter, sei's geklagt:
  Die Schwalb' ist [weggezogen]1,
  Und hat mir's nicht gesagt.
Und hat [mir]2 weggenommen
  Das Licht, den Sonnenschein,
  Und wenn sie wiederkommen,
  Werd' ich gestorben sein.
