by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

Trübe wird's, die Wolken jagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Available translation(s): ENG ENG ENG FRE
[Trübe]1 wird's, die Wolken jagen,
Und der Regen niederbricht,
Und die lauten Winde klagen:
Teich, wo ist dein Sternenlicht?

Suchen den erloschnen Schimmer
Tief im aufgewühlten See.
Deine Liebe lächelt nimmer
Nieder in mein tiefes Weh!
