Abschied

Language: German

Über die Berge zieht ihr fort,
Kommt an manchen grünen Ort;
Muß zurücke ganz allein,
Lebet wohl! es muß so sein.

Scheiden, meiden, was man liebt,
Ach wie wird das Herz betrübt!
O Seenspiegel, Wald und Hügel schwinden all;
Hör' verschwimmen eurer Stimmen Widerhall.

Lebt wohl! klingt klagevoll,
Ach wie wird das Herz betrübt,
Scheiden, meiden was man liebt;
Lebt wohl! klingt klagevoll.
