Weint auch einst kein Liebchen
Tränen auf mein Grab,
Träufeln doch die Blumen
Milden Tau hinab;

Weilt an ihm kein Wandrer
Im [Vorüberziehn]1,
Blickt auf seiner Reise
Doch der Mond [auf ihn]2.

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

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

DUT Dutch [singable] (Jos. Van de Vijver)

Das ist der alte Baum nicht mehr,
Der damals hier gestanden,
Auf dem ich gesessen im Blütenmeer
Über den sonnigen Landen.

Das ist der Wald nicht mehr, der sacht
Vom Berge rauschte nieder,
Wenn ich vom Liebchen ritt bei Nacht,
Das Herz voll neuer Lieder.

Das ist nicht mehr das tiefe Tal
Mit den grasenden Rehen,
In das wir Nachts viel tausendmal
Zusammen hinausgesehen. -

Es ist der Baum noch, Tal und Wald,
Die Welt ist jung geblieben,
Du aber wurdest seitdem alt,
Vorbei ist das schöne Lieben.

Der See ruht tief 
im blauen Traum
von Wasserblumen zugedeckt.

Ihr Vöglein hoch im Fichtenbaum,
dass ihr mir nicht den Schläfer weckt!

Doch leise weht
das Schilf und wiegt das Haupt
das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn,

ein blauer Falter aber fliegt
darüber einsam hin.

Authorship

See other settings of this text

Es rauschte leise in den Bäumen,
Ich hörte nur der Ströme Lauf,
Und Berg und Gründe, wie aus Träumen,
Sie sahn so fremd zu mir herauf.
 
Drin aber in der stillen Halle
Ruht' Sang und Plaudern müde aus,
Es schliefen meine Lieben alle,
Kaum wieder kannt ich nun mein Haus.
 
Mir war's, als lägen sie zur Stunde
Gestorben, bleich im Mondenschein,
Und schauernd in der weiten Runde
Fühlt ich auf einmal mich allein.
 
So blickt in Meeres öden Reichen
Ein Schiffer einsam himmelan -
O Herr, wenn einst die Ufer weichen,
Sei gnädig du dem Steuermann!

See other settings of this text

Durch die wolkige Maiennacht
geht ein leises Schallen,
wie im Wald die Tropfen
sacht auf die Blätter fallen.

Welch' ein ahnungsreicher Duft
weht aus allen Baumen!
Dunkel webt es in der Luft
wie von Zukunftsträumen.

[Da]1 im Hauch der auf ich sinkt,
dehnt sich all' mein Wesen,
und die müde Seele trinkt
schauerndes Genesen:

Müde Seele, hoffe nur,
morgen kommt die Sonne,
und du blühst mit Wald und [Flur]2
hell in Frühlingswonnen!
