by Gustav Pfarrius (1800 - 1884)

Wohl ist im Busch und Rasen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wohl [ist]1 [im]2 Busch und [Rasen]3
Kein Plätzchen so still und klein,
Wo nicht zusammen wir sassen, --
Ich sitze jetzt hier allein;

Wohl haben wir Kränze gewunden,
Wohl manchen duftigen Strauss
Aus Blumen des Walds gebunden, --
Dies Alles, Alles ist aus; 

Die Blätter sie sind gefallen,
Die Blumen sie sind verdorrt,
Sie war die Schönste von Allen,
Sie hielt nicht Treue, nicht Wort;

Ihr Nam' in die Birke geschnitten
Verwittert im Windeswehn,
Doch was ich gekämpft und gelitten,
Das will nicht und kann nicht vergehn.
