by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Von all' den Tapfern, welche starben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Von all' den  Tapfern, welche starben,
  Beneidet jeder deinen Tod,
Du fielst, die Blume zwischen Garben,
  Ein Stern im ersten Morgenroth.

Zu schau'n in deiner schönen Züge
  Nun sanft und still gewordnes Leid,
Es mahnt mich fast wie schwere Rüge,
  Beschleicht mich wie ein tiefer Neid.

Ein stiller Vorwurf scheint zu schweben
  Um deine Lippen, und dein Mund
Zu sprechen noch: wie kann man leben,
  Wenn alles Große geht zu Grund?

O doppelt brennen solche Wunden!
  O flucherfüllter Bruderkrieg!
Um Kreuze wird der Kranz gewunden,
  Und Trauerglocken läuten Sieg.
