Tief in den Himmel verklingt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Tief in den Himmel verklingt Traurig der letzte Stern, Noch eine Nachtigall singt Fern – fern. Geh schlafen, mein Herz, es ist Zeit. Kühl weht die Ewigkeit. Matt im Schoß liegt die Hand, Einst so tapfer am Schwert. War, wofür du entbrannt, Kampfes wert? Geh schlafen, mein Herz, es ist Zeit. Kühl weht die Ewigkeit.
