by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)

Die holden Wünsche blühen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
   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.
