Lost

W. Hess

A little bird keeps calling,

wherever I may go;

my feet are tired and aching!

The little bird keeps calling,

I wander ever on.

Where has the calling vanished?

The sun has long since set.

It's hidden by the darkness,

it's covered by the night.

To whom shall I complain?

No star lights up the forest,

I found no more my path;

the flowers in the valleys,

the flowers in the woods,

they lower on in the dark.
