Translated from the German of Ho ffman von Fal- srsleben. for The Connecticut Western News by .UELLA D. SMITH,.
 Careless hast thou in the lilacs
 Joyful built thy little nest. Little bird above the gravestones, Does no sorrow fill thy breasts Flies are dancing, beetles whIrring, Bees are bumming in the air. Thou art singing in the sunbeams, Thankful that the earth is fair. Only human hearts are mourning
 Sad within the graveyard wall Will not look above to Heaven,
 See the spring time over all
