Wo dein Fuß gegangen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Wo dein Fuß gegangen,
Wo gehaucht dein Mund,
Wo dein Blick gehangen:
Da ist heil'ger Grund.
 
Geh ich jetzt alleine,
Wo du je gewallt,
Seh ich immer deine
Weihende Gestalt.

Where your foot trod

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Where your foot trod,
Where your mouth breathed,
Where your gaze rested:
That is holy ground.
 
When I now walk alone
Wherever you wandered,
I always see your
Consecrating figure.
