Weiter ziehn die Nachtigallen

Weiter ziehn die Nachtigallen, 
Wenn die Rosen sind verblüht, 
Und die Lieder, sie verhallen, 
Die erfreuten das Gemüth.  
Auch des Waldes bunter Reigen 
Klinget aus in tiefes Schweigen  --  
Denn es ziehn die Nachtigallen, 
Wenn die Rosen sind verblüht. 

Und des Liedes Engel scheidet, 
Wenn die Liebe Abschied nahm; 
Schweigend durch die Seele schreitet 
Dir das Unglück und der Gram;  
Nur Erinn'rung singt noch leise 
Ihre traurig-schöne Weise  --  
Denn des Liedes Engel scheidet, 
Wenn die Liebe Abschied nahm.
