by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

Waldgang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ich ging an deiner Seite
In einem Buchenhaine;
Ein störendes Geleite
Ließ nimmer uns alleine.

Und mußten wir zurücke
Ins Herz die Worte pressen,
Uns sagten unsre Blicke,
Daß wir uns nicht vergessen.

Und sehn wir uns nicht wieder
In diesem Erdenleben,
Dich werden meine Lieder
Verherrlichend umschweben.

Das Bächlein trieb hinunter
Der Wellen rasche Tänze,
Und rauschend flocht und bunter
Der Herbst der Wehmut Kränze.

Doch aus des Walds Verdüstern,
Den Stimmen des Vergehens,
Hört' ich die Hoffnung flüstern
Des ew'gen Wiedersehens.

Confirmed with Neuere Gedichte von Nicolaus Lenau, Stuttgart, Hallberger'sche Verlagshandlung, 1838, page 262.
