Neujahrsglocken
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
In den Lüften schwellendes Gedröhne, Leicht wie Halme beugt der Wind die Töne: Leis verhallen, die zum ersten riefen, Neu Geläute hebt sich aus den Tiefen. Große Heere, nicht ein einzler Rufer! Wohllaut flutet ohne Strand und Ufer.
