by Theobald Kerner (1817 - 1907)

Der Winter kommt!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O weh, ihr schlanken Bächlein
Durch Wiese und durch Wald,
Der Winter kommt, der Winter kommt,
Macht euch zu Eise bald.

O weh, ihr zarten Blumen
Auf Bergen und im Thal,
Der Winter kommt, der Winter kommt,
Macht welken euch zumal.

O weh, du armer Junge,
Amor, was [fängst] 1 du an?
Der Winter kommt, der Winter kommt,
Du hast kein Röcklein an!

O sieh, dort fliegen [Störche]2,
Heb' deine Flügelein,
[Zieh]3 mit! zieh mit! im Frühling
[Kehr']4 wieder bei uns ein.
