[Noch eine Nachtigall,]1 so spät? Schon sind die Blüthen längst verweht, Der Sommer reift die Felder schon, Und noch ein Frühlingston? O Lenz, ward es dir offenbar, Daß ich noch sterbe dieses Jahr? Und riefest aus der Ferne du Noch einen Gruß mir zu? --

[A nightingale still,]1 so late? The blossoms have long since been scattered by the wind, Summer is already ripening the fields, And still a sound of springtime? Oh Spring, was it revealed to you That I would die this year yet? And from out of the distance did you Call a greeting to me once more?
