by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)

Sängers Trost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Weint auch einst [kein Liebchen]1
Tränen auf mein Grab,
Träufeln doch die Blumen
[Milden]2 Tau hinab;

Weilt an ihm kein Wandrer
Im [Vorüberziehn]3,
Blickt auf seiner Reise
Doch der Mond [dahin]4.

Denkt auf diesen Fluren
Bald kein [Erdner mein]5,
Denkt doch mein die Aue
Und der stille Hain.

Blumen, Hain und Aue,
Stern und Mondenlicht,
Die ich sang, vergessen
Ihres Sängers nicht.
