by Nikolaus Lenau (1802 - 1850)

Noch eine Nachtigall, so spät?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
[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? --
