by Friedrich Theodor Vischer (1807 - 1887)

Ist Mancher so gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ist Mancher so gegangen
    Und hat zurückgedacht,
Wie er mit Kinderwangen
    Hier einst gespielt, gelacht.

Wird Mancher noch so gehen
    Und denken so zurück
Und wird sich selber sehen
    In seinem Kindesglück,

Wird stehen, wie ich heute,
    An seinem Vaterhaus,
Wo nun die fremden Leute
    Zum Fenster schauen heraus.

Wird suchen und wird spähen,
    Am hellen Tage blind,
Wird meinen, er müsse sie sehen,
    Die alle nicht mehr sind.
