by Otto Inkermann (1823 - 1862), as C. O Sternau

Draußen blüh'n die Veigelein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Draußen blüh'n die Veigelein, 
Draußen lacht der Sonne Schein,
Aber drinnen, aber drinnen
In dem traurigen Gemüth 
Fühl' ich eine Thräne rinnen,
Sind die Veig'lein schon verblüht! 

Draußen singt der Vögel Chor 
In die blaue Luft empor, 
Aber drinnen, aber drinnen 
In dem Herzen starb der Klang 
Starb das Lied vom süßen Minnen 
Und der Freude Hochgesang.


Draußen liebet was da lebt,
Was nach holdem Glücke strebt,
Aber drinnen, aber drinnen 
Ist's mit aller Liebe aus,
Denn mein Schätzlein zog von hinnen
In die weite Welt hinaus.
