by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Verirrt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ein Vöglein singt so süße
Vor mir von Ort zu Ort;
Weh, meine wunden Füße! 
Das Vöglein singt so süße,
Ich wandre immerfort. 

Wo ist nun hin das Singen? 
Schon sank das Abendrot;
Die Nacht hat es verstecket,
Hat alles zugedecket -
Wem klag ich meine Not? 

Kein Sternlein blinkt im Walde,
Weiß weder Weg noch Ort;
Die Blumen an der Halde,
Die Blumen in dem Walde,
Die blühn im Dunkeln fort.
