by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)
Wie oft schon ward es Frühling wieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie oft schon ward es Frühling wieder Für die erstorbne öde Welt! Wie oft schon schollen frohe Lieder Ihm überall durch Wald und Feld! Wie oft schon ward es Frühling wieder! Doch Frühling ward es nicht für mich: Es schweigen meines Herzens Lieder, Denn Frühling wird es nur durch dich.
