Elegie

Ohh spring of days long ago
Blooming and bright
Far have you fluttered away
No more the skies, as your light caroling birds, wakened and glisten for me
Bearing all joy for my heart

Loved on how far, from my life has to flown,
plainly to me does the springtime return
It brings me never again, dark is the sun, dead are the days of delight
Cold is my heart and the snow cast away, life is in vain
