by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ITA
Es geht wohl anders, als du meinst:
Derweil du [rot]1 und fröhlich scheinst,
Ist Lenz und Sonnenschein verflogen,
Die liebe Gegend schwarz umzogen;
Und kaum hast du dich ausgeweint,
Lacht alles wieder, die Sonne scheint --
Es geht wohl anders, als [man meint]2.
