by Leberecht Blücher Dreves (1816 - 1870)

Herz, wie wird's freudenleer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Herz, wie wird's freudenleer
In dir und um dich her,
Frühling und Jugendzeit
Alles wie weit, wie weit!

Ringsum deckt Reif die Flur;
Könnt' ich doch schlafen nur,
Schlafen von Allem aus
Tief in der Erde Haus.

O wie so weit, so weit
Liegst du nun, goldne Zeit;
Frühling und Jugendglück,
Kehrt ihr nie mehr zurück?
