Einsame Trauer
 (Sung text for setting by O. Dresel)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Und die Rosen die prangen,
  D'rüber sie fährt der Wind,
Und die Lust ist vergangen,
  Fast eh sie beginnt.

Und die Vöglein die singen,
  Und die Luft die verweht's,
Durch die Welt geht ein Kling'n,
  Und Keiner versteht's.

Und die Sterne die scheinen
  So schön in die Nacht,
Ich aber möcht weinen
  Inmitten der Pracht.
