by Gustav Kastropp (1844 - 1925)

Es glühten rings die Felder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es glühten rings die Felder
Im heißen Sonnenbrand,
Da stand ich auf dem Berge
Am külen [sic] Waldesrand.

Die Glocken hört' ich tönen,
Sah einen schwarzen Zug,
Der einen müden Pilger
Zur Ruhestätte trug.

Den Sarg ließ man hernieder,
Deckt ihn mit Erde zu --
Der findet in dem Grabe
Die längst ersehnte Ruh.
