Translation by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)

Durch die Waldnacht trabt mein Thier
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Durch die Waldnacht trabt mein Thier
Sacht beim Sterngefunkel,
All mein Glück liegt hinter mir,
Vor mir nichts als Dunkel.
Welke Blätter wirbeln wild
In des Sturms Gewimmer --
Lebewohl geliebtes Bild!
Lebewohl für immer!

Ach, wohl mag der Menschenbrust
Lieb' ein Himmel scheinen,
Doch nach allzuflücht'ger Lust
[Giebt]1 sie langes Weinen.
Sehnsucht ewig ungestillt
Folgt dem kurzen Schimmer --
Lebewohl geliebtes Bild!
Lebewohl für immer!
