Nach Westen zieht der Wind dahin

Nach Westen [zieht]1 der Wind dahin,
er [säuselt lau]2 und lind dahin,
er folgt dem blauen Strome wohl
und [flieht]3 zu meinem Kind dahin! -

Bring' meinen Tränenregen ihr,
und einen [Gruß]4 geschwind dahin!
Ach, Wolken kommen trüb daher
die [frohen]5 Tage sind dahin!

by Heinrich Leuthold (1827-1879) , no title, from Ghaselen, no. 1
