by Ludwig Amandus Bauer (1803 - 1846)

Ich weiss nicht, warum?
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Vöglein flog vom Lindenbaum
So still und stumm,
Die Zweige zittern wie im Traum,
Und ich weiß nicht, warum?

Du gingst von mir in dieser Stund'
So still und stumm,
Mein Herz erzittert bis zum Grund,
Und ich weiß nicht, warum?

Confirmed with Gedichte von Ludwig Bauer, Berlin, Riegel's Verglags-Buchhandlung, 1860, page 83.
