by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Die holden Wünsche blühen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die holden Wünsche blühen, Und welken wieder ab, Und blühen und welken wieder -- So geht es bis ans Grab. Das weiß ich, und das vertrübet Mir alle Lieb' und Lust; Mein Herz ist so klug und witzig, Und verblutet in meiner Brust.
