by Hermann Löns (1866 - 1914)

Beerdigung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Die Maienglöckchen läuten
mit Totenglockenklang;
es ist ein Herz gestorben,
das war solange krank.
 
Die Totengräber fliegen
die ganz Maiennacht;
sie haben dem roten Herzen
ein schwarzes Grab gemacht.
 
In dem Zypressenbaume
da singt ein Vögelein;
nun lasset uns aber trinken
den roten, roten Wein.
 
Nun lasset uns aber singen,
zu Ende ist die Not;
wir haben das Herz begraben,
das rote Herz ist tot.
