by Josef Rüttger (flourished c1863)

Sonst und jetzt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ja, es blüht derselbe Frühling,
und dieselbe Sonne lacht,
und dieselben Sterne glänzen
in der traulich stillen Nacht.

Und dieselbe Morgenröte
küsst den Tau von duft'ger Flur,
und dieselben bunten Sänger
[freu'n wie sonst sich]1 der Natur.

Ich nur habe mich [verwandelt]2,
ich nur bin derselbe nimmer;
nur allein mich hat verlassen
[auch der kleinste]3 Freudenschimmer.

Weit von dem geträumten Glücke
und der heimatlichen Flur
blieb von [früher'n]4 Tagen
die Erinnerung mir nur.

Confirmed with Joseph Rüttger, Panorama der Liebe, München, 1847.

Note for stanza 3, line 2, word 4: in Randhartinger's score, "dieselbe" is given below "derselbe".

1 Randhartinger: "jubeln froh in"
2 Randhartinger: "gewandelt"
3 Randhartinger: "dieses Daseins"
4 Randhartinger: "frühen schöner'n" (probably should be "früher'n, schöner'n")
