by Bruno Heinrich Eelbo (1853 - 1917)

Die Knospen sprangen, die Vögel sangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Knospen sprangen, die Vögel sangen,
Als aus der Fremde er zu uns kam. --
Heut muß ich trauern in grauen Mauern; 
Ach, daß so balde er Abschied nahm.

Es klagt im Winde die alte Linde,
Am dunklen Himmel die Wolken zieh'n. 
Ach, wie so gerne in weite Ferne
Flög' mit den Wolken ich zu ihm hin. 

Oft hör' ich leise im Traum die Weise: 
„Mach' auf, mach' auf, du mein herziges Kind!” --
An's Fenster klopfen die Regentropfen, 
Und in den Zweigen rauscht der Wind.
