Frühlingsklage
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Wölklein ziehen in den Höhn, Schnell gejagt von lauen Lüften; Wiesen stehn so wunderschön, Veilchen rings im [Thale]1 düften! Aber fern im Haine schon, Horch! welch banger Klageton! Weiß es wohl, o Nachtigall, Ach! was mir dein Lied will sagen! Kenn' ihn wohl, der Wehmuth Schall In den allerschönsten Tagen! Mir auch zittert's durch Gemüth, Wie so bald der Lenz verblüht!
