Vorbei
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein freundlich Thal 
Am Bergeshang,
Ein Gärtchen klein,
Mit Vogelsang,
Ein Häuschen, ganz 
Im Grün versteckt,
Und von der Bäume 
Laub bedeckt -- -- --

Und dort mit Dir
Der Welt entrückt,
Zu leben still 
Und hochbeglückt! -- -- --
Ich dachte, daß 
Es einst so sei, --
 Es war ein Traum! -- --
Er ist vorbei! --

Confirmed with Deutsche Dichterhalle, Redakteur: Oscar Blumenthal, Jahrgang 1874, 2. Band, No. 17, page 198.
