by (Georg) Adolf Glaßbrenner (1810 - 1876)

Das Posthorn schmettert, die Peitsche...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das Posthorn schmettert, die Peitsche knallt;
Mir wird so weh um's Herz! 
Sie fahren dahin, der Ton [verhallt]1; 
[Verhalle]2 nun auch, mein Schmerz! 
Sobald die linden Lüfte wehn,
Werd' ich sie Alle wiedersehn,
Die [ich]3 geliebt, 
Die [mich]4 geliebt.

Ich möchte wohl einst so begraben sein
Vom blasenden Postillon;
Nach jenem Land so still und [rein]5
[Sehn']6 ich mich lange schon.
Sobald die linden Lüfte wehn,
Werd' ich sie Alle wiedersehn,
Die [ich]3 geliebt, 
Die [mich]4 geliebt.
