by Ludwig Rellstab (1799 - 1860)
Es rauschen die Winde
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es rauschen die Winde So herbstlich und kalt; Verödet die Fluren, Entblättert der Wald. Ihr blumigen Auen! Du sonniges Grün! So welken die Blüthen Des Lebens dahin. Es ziehen die Wolken So finster und grau; Verschwunden die Sterne Am himmlischen Blau! Ach, wie die Gestirne Am Himmel entfliehn, So sinket die Hoffnung Des Lebens dahin! Ihr Tage des Lenzes Mit Rosen geschmückt, Wo ich [den Geliebten]1 An's Herze gedrückt! Kalt über den Hügel Rauscht, Winde, dahin! So sterben die Rosen [Der Liebe]2 dahin.
