Trübe wird's, die Wolken jagen
 (Sung text for setting by O. Schoeck)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG ENG FRE
Trübe wird's, die Wolken jagen,
Und der Regen niederbricht,
Und die lauten Winde klagen:
Teich, wo ist dein Sternenlicht?

Suchen den erloschnen Schimmer
Tief im aufgewühlten See.
Deine Liebe lächelt nimmer
Nieder in mein tiefes Weh!
