Remembrance

Language: English

Our translations: CHI FRE GER

'Tis done! -- I saw [it]¹ in my dreams;
No more with Hope the future beams; 
  My days of happiness are few: 
Chill'd by misfortune's wintry blast, 
My dawn of life is overcast; 
  Love Hope, and Joy, alike adieu! 
  Would I could add Remembrance too!

Erinnerung

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Ich hört’s im Traum: “ ’s ist aus mit dir!“
Nicht länger leuchtet Hoffnung mir;
die Tage meines Glücks gezählt:
Von Unglücks eis’ger Hand regiert
mein junges Leben jäh erfriert;
Freud’, Liebe, Hoffnung aus der Welt!
Hätt’ gern Erinn’rung zugesellt!
