Holder Lenz, du bist dahin!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE
Holder Lenz, du bist dahin!
Nirgends, nirgends darfst du bleiben!
Wo ich sah dein frohes Blühn,
Braust des Herbstes banges Treiben.

Wie der Wind so traurig fuhr
Durch den Strauch, als ob er weine;
Sterbeseufzer der Natur
Schauern durch die welken Haine.

Wieder ist, wie bald! wie bald!
Mir ein Jahr dahingeschwunden.
Fragend rauscht es aus dem Wald:
"Hat dein Herz sein Glück gefunden?"

Waldesrauschen, wunderbar
Hast du mir das Herz getroffen!
Treulich bringt ein jedes Jahr
Welkes Laub und welkes Hoffen.

Lente lief, je bent voorbij!
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Lente lief, je bent voorbij!
Nergens, nergens mag je blijven!
Waar ik zag jouw bloei, zo blij,
Hoor ik herfst nu angst verspreiden.
 
Treurig als de wind, die guur
Door de struiken welhaast mauwde,
Zucht de stervende natuur
Huiv'rend door de matte wouden.
 
Weerom is, hoe vlug al oud,
Heel een jaar van mij verslonden.
Vragend ruist het door het woud:
"Heeft je hart geluk gevonden?"
 
Wouden ruisend, vreemd en zwaar
Ben je mij in 't hart geslopen!
Steevast brengt weer ieder jaar
Kwijnend loof en kwijnend hopen.
