Elégie Songtext / Lyric

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

Loved, on how far from my life hast thou flown?
Vainly 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 as dark as the day.
Life is in vain. Vain delight.
