by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

O Vogel, ist es aus mit dir?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
O Vogel, ist es aus mit dir?
Krank übergab ich dich Barmherzgen-Schwester-Händen,
Ob sie vielleicht noch dein Verhängnis wenden;
So war denn keine Hilfe hier?
Zwei Augen, schwarz als wie die deinen,
Sah ich mit deinem Blick sich einen,
Und gleich erlosch sein schönes Licht.
Hast du von ihnen Leids erfahren?
Wohlan, wenn sie dir tödlich waren,
So war dein Tod so bitter nicht!
