Ade, du lieber Tannenwald
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Ade, du lieber Tannenwald, Ade! Wie rief die Scheidestund' so bald, Ade! Schon muß ich fort, zu Hause mein Harr't Schreibepult und Bücherschrein, O weh! Ade, du liebes Waldesgrün, Ade! Ihr Blümlein mögt noch lange blüh'n, Ade! Mögt and're Wand'rer noch erfreu'n, Und ihnen eu're Düfte streu'n, Ade!1 Ade, ihr Felsen braun und grau, Ade! Weiß Gott, wenn ich euch wieder schau', Ade! Mir ist das Herz so trüb' und schwer, Als rief's, du siehst sie nimmermehr, O weh!1 Und scheid' ich auch auf Lebenslang, Ade! O Wald, o Fels, o Vogelsang! Ade! An euch, an euch, zu aller Zeit Gedenke ich in Freudigkeit, Ade, ade, ade!1
F. Abt sets stanza 2 in (at least) one setting - see below for more information

Farewell, you dear pine forest
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Farewell, you dear pine forest, Farewell! How soon the hour of parting calls out, Farewell! I must already depart, to my home Where writing desk and bookcase await, Farewell! Farewell, you dear, green wood, Farewell! Your blossoms will ever bloom, Farewell! May you delight other travelers, And shower them with your fragrance, Farewell! Farewell, you stone of brown and gray, Farewell! God knows if I will ever see you again, Farewell! My heart is so anguished and heavy, As if it is crying: you’ll never see them again, Oh woe! And moreover, I depart for life, Farewell! O forest, oh crag, oh birdsong! Farewell! Of you, of you, for all time I will think with rapture, Farewell, farewell, farewell!
