by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)
In meinem Garten die Nelken See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
In meinem Garten die Nelken mit ihrem Purpurstern müssen nun alle verwelken, denn du bist fern. Auf meinem Herde die Flammen die ich bewacht so gern, sanken in Asche zusammen, denn du bist fern. Die Welt ist mir verdorben, mich grüßt nicht Blume nicht Stern, mein Herz ist lang' gestorben, denn du bist fern.
Note for stanza 1, line 4: in Stuckenschmidt's setting, "du, ach du" returns to the original "du" in the repetition.
