by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation

Es fiel ein Reif in der Frühlingsnacht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Es fiel ein Reif in der Frühlingsnacht, 
er fiel auf die zarten Blaublümelein; 
sie sind verwelket, sie sind verdorret, sie sind verwelket, verdorret!  
 
Ein Jüngling hatte ein Mägdlein lieb, 
sie flohen gar heimlich vom Hause fort 
es wusste nicht Vater, es wusste nicht Mutter, es wusste nicht Vater noch Mutter.  
 
Sie sind gewandert hin und her, 
sie haben gehabt weder Glück noch Stern: 
sie sind verdorben, sie sind verdorben, sie sind verdorben, gestorben!
