Letztes Glück
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE
Leblos gleitet Blatt um Blatt
Still und traurig von den Bäumen;
Seines Hoffens nimmer satt,
Lebt das Herz in Frühlingsträumen.
Noch verweilt ein Sonnenblick
Bei den späten Hagerosen,
Wie bei einem letzten Glück,
Einem süßen, hoffnungslosen.

Dernier bonheur
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les feuilles l'une après l'autre flottent sans vie
Silencieusement et tristement des arbres ;
Ses espoirs jamais satisfaits,
Le cœur vit dans des rêves de printemps.
Pourtant un regard ensoleillé demeure encore
Dans le buisson de roses tardives,
Comme un dernier bonheur,
Un doux espoir perdu.
