Der Leidende
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nimmer trag' ich länger Dieser Leiden Last: Nimm den müden Pilger Bald hinauf zu dir. Immer, immer enger Wird's in meinem Busen, Immer, immer trüber Wird der Augen Blick. Nimmer trag' ich länger Dieser Leiden Last. Öffne mir den Himmel, Milder, güt'ger Gott! Laß mich meine Schmerzen Senken in das Grab! Allzu viele Qualen Wüten mir im Innern, Hin ist jede Hoffnung, Hin des Herzens Glut. Öffne mir den Himmel, Milder, güt'ger Gott!
