by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)
Translation by Aleksandr Nikolayevich Brandt
Trübes Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Japanese (日本語)
Die Blüten rieseln nieder. Dichter Nebel Verbirgt den See. Die wilden Gänse rufen Erschreckt am heiligen [Teich]1 von Iware. Düstere Träume schatten um mein Haupt. Mein Herz ist schwer. Wenn übers Jahr die Gänse Von neuem rufen, hör ich sie nicht mehr.
