by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

Auf der Wanderschaft
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich wandre fort in fernes Land,
Noch einmal blickt' ich um, bewegt
Und sah, wie sie den Mund geregt,
Und wie gewinket ihre Hand.

Wohl rief sie noch ein freundlich Wort
Mir nach auf meinen trüben Gang,
Doch hört' ich nicht den liebsten Klang,
Weil ihn der Wind getragen fort.

Daß ich mein Glück verlassen muß,
Du rauher, kalter Windeshauch,
Ist's nicht genug, daß du mir auch
Entreißest ihren letzten Gruß?
