possibly by Matthias Schöberl (1809 - 1874)

Öffne dich, du Mutter Erde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Öffne dich, du Mutter Erde,
du Trösterin nach Leid und Schmerz!
Wir legen trauernd einen Bruder
nun an dein liebend Mutterherz.
Die Hoffnungsblüten kaum geboren,
die dieses junge Herz verloren,
als Rosen treib' sie nun hervor
in Gottes Lüfte frei empor!

Du Freund und Bruder, schlaf' in Frieden!
Du warst so edel, warst so gut!
Wir segnen deine teu're Hülle
mit uns'rer Tränen Weiheflut.
Der Glaube nur kann Trost uns geben,
wir finden dich im besser'n Leben!
Die Liebe, die wir dir geweiht,
sie bleibet dir in Ewigkeit.
