Come on now! Laugh!
So lach doch mal!
Ein niederdeutsches Gedicht · A Low Saxon (Low German) Poem
Klaus Groth, Quickborn, 1856 · English:
Reinhard F. Hahn
Don’t
make me sad! Don’t make me sigh!
Come on now! Laugh! Think something good!
How sweet the lark’s song in the sky,
The nightingale’s in the wood! |
What’s
that you see in the setting sun?
The grass is green, and flowers bloom!
Birds are singing, having fun,
And you are all pallor and gloom. |
