Der Sommer Wie Er Einst War/Summer Like It Once Was/El Verano Como Era Una Vez

Der Sommer wie er einst war, bleibt unvergessen und zwischen Rosenranken ruht ein Hauch vergang'ner Tage, wie leichter Tau auf stillem Morgengras Der Sommer wie er einst war, ich ungezwungen, wir Kinder, zwischen Häuserecken und dem fernen Wald, spielten dort Nachlauf und Verstecken Ich seh' den Sommer wie er war, mit neuen Augen. Und wieder steh' ich dort, wo ich einst stand und sehe uns im Licht vergang'ner Tage und laufen noch ein Stückchen Hand in Hand ---------------------------------------- Summer like it once was, still remains unforgotten and between rose tendrils rests a breath of bygone days, like those light dew on quiet morning grass. Summer like it once was, I myself free, we children, between house corners and the distant woods, chased each other and played hide-and-seek I see that summer as it once was with new eyes. And there again I stand, where I once stood and see us in the light of bygone days and walk a short time hand in hand ------------------------------------------ El verano como era una vez, todavía permanece inolvidado y entre zarcillos de rosas reposa un soplo de días pasados, como ligero rocío sobre silenciosa hierba de la mañana El verano como era una vez, Yo mismo libero, nosotros niños, entre esquinas de las casas y bosques distantes, perseguiendo uno al otro y jugamos escondite Yo veo ese verano cuando era una vez con nuevos ojos. Y de nuevo estoy allí, donde una vez estuve, y yo ver nos en la luz de días pasados y caminamos poco tiempo con la mano en la mano

I so miss summer so, Gert. This a nostalgic and wonderful write. :) I've got a question: why can't I soup mail you? I can't see that sign with a soup bowl next to your name where I can click on and send you soup mail, I don't know why. Did you pun your ' Soup Mail' option 'OFF'? Thanks for all your lovely comments in Romanian. You're really skilled with foreign languages.

How much we long for the blissful summers of our youth that you describe so well here, Gert. I got a bit misty eyed thinking how we can never really recapture these innocent days. The last verse was especially moving, seeing yourself walking hand-in-hand with loved one in bygone days. A great sense of nostalgia fills this poem and it goes to my favorites. Love, Carolyn

Beautiful serenity, Gert. Love this..memories are so precious, aren't they? We are lucky in that we can retain the images and emotions of the past, and enjoy the good ones and learn from bad...Totally enjoyed! Thanks for all the kind comments, Gert. You're very kind. Love, Audrey
