by Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1804 - 1881), as Ernst

Die ersten Tropfen fallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die ersten Tropfen fallen
aus trübem Morgenrot,
der Tag wird böse werden,
der schon so frühe droht.

Die ersten Tropfen fallen
von meinem Augenlid,
mein Lieb ist fortgegangen,
wer weiß, was noch geschieht.
