Im Waldesgrün am stillen See
Language: German (Deutsch)
Alt-Solo Im Waldesgrün am stillen See, Da seufzt ein Jüngling im schweren Weh: Gepackt von der tötenden Seuche, stahl Er her sich, zu enden seine Qual. Er, dem im Leben, wo er stand, Sich jedes Herz einst zugewandt, Stirbt jetzt, als hätt' er keinen Freund, Hier ungesehn und unbeweint. Der Jüngling Ach, einen Tropfen nur aus dem See, Zu kühlen das fiebrisch brennende Weh, Ach, einen Tropfen nur aus der Flut, Zu kühlen die fiebrische Glut!
