Wilder Lärm tönt in der Schenke

Choose for Diff
Wilder Lärm tönt in der Schenke;
Alles will heut fröhlich sein,
Da zur Stadt, der reichgeschmückten,
Zog des Festes Jubel ein.

Freut des Lebens euch, ihr Brüder!
Schallt ein kräftger Männersang,
Und die vollen Gläser läuten
Drein mit lustig hellem Klang.

Aber droben, weh! im Sterben
Liegt des Wirthes junge Frau,
Erst vor kurzem noch so blühend,
Wie die Ros' im Morgenthau!

Und die frohen Klänge dringen
Zu dem Sterbebett hinauf;
Bitter lächelnd schlägt die Kranke
Ein Mal noch die Augen auf.

Freut des Lebens euch! schallt's wieder,
Weil uns noch das Lämpchen glüht!
Droben aber in der Kammer
Eine Rose lag verblüht.
