by Anacreon (c582BCE - c485BCE)
Translation by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

Dir auch wurde, Kleanorides, Sehnsucht...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Dir auch wurde, Kleanorides, Sehnsucht nach der Heimat
Tödlich; dich schreckte der Süd nimmer, der winterlich stürmt.
So fing dich die betrügliche Jahrszeit ein, und strömend 
Spülten die Wogen den Reiz lieblicher Jugend hinweg.
