Vorwurf
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): DUT ENG FRE
Du klagst, daß bange Wehmut dich beschleicht,
weil sich der Wald entlaubt,
und über deinem Haupt dahin
der Wanderzug der Vögel streicht.
O klage nicht, bist selber wandelhaft,
denkst du der Liebesglut?
Wie nun so traurig ruht in deiner Brust
die müde Leidenschaft!

Reproche
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Tu te plains qu'une anxieuse mélancolie te gagne
Tandis que la forêt perd ses feuilles
Et que par dessus ta tête
S'étire la migration des oiseaux.
Ô ne te plains pas, tu es toi-même un migrateur,
Penses-tu à l'ardeur de ton amour ?
Et comment si tristement repose en ton sein
Ta passion épuisée.
