by Josef Seiler (1823 - 1877)
O Tannebaum, o Tannebaum
Language: German (Deutsch)
Im Lenz, und wenn auch Alles grün -- Der Tannenbaum steht schwarz! Er mahnt die freudige Frühe still, Wie bald es Winter kommen will -- Der Tannenbaum steht schwarz! Im Winter, und wenn Alles todt -- Der Tannenbaum steht grün! Er tröstet rings die Öde still, Wie bald es Frühling kommen will -- Der Tannenbaum steht grün!
