by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Flohen die Wolken im Abendwinde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Flohen die Wolken im Abendwinde,
Schimmernd im Mondlicht lag das Thal --
Hinter der Mauer unter der Linde 
Sahen wir uns zum letztenmal.

Flohen die Jahre, flohen geschwinde,
Wieder kam ich ins heimische Thal --
Hinter der Mauer unter der Linde 
Dacht' ich dein viel tausendmal.
