by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Brich aus in lauten Klagen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Brich aus in lauten Klagen, Du düstres Martyrerlied, Das ich so lang getragen Im flammenstillen Gemüt! Es dringt in alle Ohren, Und durch die Ohren ins Herz; Ich habe gewaltig beschworen Den tausendjährigen Schmerz. Es weinen die Großen und Kleinen, Sogar die kalten Herrn, Die Frauen und Blumen weinen, Es weinen am Himmel die Stern! Und alle die Tränen fließen Nach Süden, im stillen Verein, Sie fließen und ergießen Sich all in den Jordan hinein.
