Dies ist der wohlvertraute Flieder. Hier weilt' ich einst als frohes Kind Und stammelte die ersten Lieder, Gewiegt von Träumen hold und lind. Das Glück auf ungestümer Welle Entfloh mir in der Welt Gebraus. Such' ich an der geliebten Stelle, Ach alles sieht viel anders aus. Die kleine Bank ist weggenommen, Hoch aufwuchs das Gebüsch umher, Und mag ich selbst auch wiederkommen, Doch kommt das frohe Kind nicht mehr!

This is the well-remembered lilac. Here I once lingered as a happy child And stammered my first songs, Rocked by dreams, lovely and gentle. Upon rough waves, happiness Escaped me in the bustle of the world. When I search at the beloved spot, Ah, everything looks very much different. The little bench has been taken away, The surrounding bushes have grown tall, And even though I myself may come here again, Yet the happy child returns no more!
