by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Die Nachtigall, als ich sie fragte

Die Nachtigall, als ich sie fragte
Warum sie nicht mehr singe, sagte:
Ich singe nur, wenn süß bewegt
Mein Herz voll Drang nach Liebe schlägt:
Seit ich, was ich gesucht, gefunden,
Ist Sehnsucht und Gesang verschwunden:
Doch wenn aufs neu Jasmin und Flieder
Im Garten blüh'n, dann sing' ich wieder.
