by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Mein liebes Kind, ade!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Mein liebes Kind, ade!
Ich konnt' ade nicht sagen
Als sie dich fortgetragen,
Vor tiefem, tiefem Weh.
 
[Jetzt]1 auf lichtgrünem Plan
Stehst du im Myrtenkranze,
Und lächelst aus dem Glanze
Mich still voll Mitleid an.
 
Und Jahre nahn und gehn,
Wie bald bin ich verstoben -
O bitt für mich da droben,
Daß wir uns wiedersehn!
