Vorüber
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich legte mich unter den Lindenbaum, In dem die Nachtigall schlug; Sie sang mich in den süßesten Traum, Der währte auch lange genug. Denn nun ich erwache, nun ist sie fort, Und welk bedeckt mich das Laub; Doch leider noch nicht, wie am dunklern Ort, Verglühte Asche der Staub.
