by Wilhelm Wackernagel (1806 - 1869)

Ich grüne wie die Weide grünt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich grüne wie die Weide grünt,
Die Trauerweide,
Die aufzuschaun sich nie erkühnt
In ihrem Leide.

Sie steht und weint und läßt hinab
Die Haare fließen,
Wo Blumen über einem Grab
Und Gräser sprießen.

Der Frühling auch ihr geschwellt
Der Knospen viele:
Wann welket doch das Laub und fällt
Und ist am Ziele?
