Allerseelen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Die Allerseelenglocken klingen, Hinaus zu Gräbern wallt die Welt; Leis regt die Trauer ihre Schwingen, Ihr ist die Liebe zugesellt. Denkst, Mensch, du derer, die dir fehlen, O denk' auch dessen, was dir blieb -- Leis laß dich mahnen Allerseelen: Die dir noch leben, hab' sie lieb!
