by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Zu meinen Füßen sinkt ein Blatt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Zu meinen Füßen sinkt ein Blatt,
Der Sonne müd', des Regens satt;
Als dieses Blatt war grün und neu
Hatt' ich noch Eltern lieb und treu.

O wie vergänglich ist ein Laub,
Des Frühlings Kind, des Herbstes Raub!
Doch hat dies Laub, das niederbebt,
Mir so viel Liebes überlebt.
