by Caroline Caspari (1808 - 1875)

Lebt wohl, ihr blauen Augen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lebt wohl, ihr blauen Augen,
die mich so oft gegrüßt,
ihr frischen Rosenlippen,
die ich so warm geküsst!
Du allerschönste Freude,
mir jetzt zum bitter'n Leide,
du all mein Glück, mein stilles Weh',
du süße, holde Maid, ade!

Lebt wohl, ihr frischen Klänge
aus [reiner, warmer]1 Brust,
ihr zaubervollen Sänge,
die meine Wonnelust!
Du allerschönste Freude,
mir jetzt zum bitter'n Leide,
du all mein Glück, mein stilles Weh',
du traute Sangeslust, ade!

Lebt wohl, ihr gold'nen Stunden,
du Erdenseligkeit,
die mir so bald entschwunden,
du lichte Frühlingszeit!
Du allerschönste Freude,
mir jetzt zum bitter'n Leide,
du all mein Glück, mein stilles Weh',
du Zeit der Liebeslust, ade!
