by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Requiescat
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du gingst von mir -- ins Leere starrt
Mein Denken und mein Tun;
Denn die für mich geboren ward,
Ist tot für mich! Dies Wort klingt hart! - -
Lasset die Toten ruh'n!

So zieh' ich denn die Welt entlang,
Den Staub auf meinen Schuh'n;
Voll Leben klingt der Welt Gesang,
Doch du bist tot, schon lang, schon lang! - -
Lasset die Toten ruh'n!
