by Julius (Ernst Wilhelm) Stinde (1841 - 1905)

Was bin ich ins Kloster gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was bin ich ins Kloster gegangen
und hatt' es doch nicht not?
Und war doch Frühling da draußen,
und die Rosen blühten so rot.

Wie bin ich noch jung an Jahren,
wie bin ich doch schon so alt.
Tragt mich hinaus in die Sonne,
es weht hier drinnen so kalt.

Was bin ich ins Kloster gegangen
und hatt' es doch nicht not?
Der Frühling hat mein vergessen,
nun freiet mich der Tod.
