by Christian Hoeppl (1826 - 1862)

O läg' ich doch und schliefe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O läg' ich doch und schliefe
Von Allen ungestört,
Da unten in kühler Tiefe,
Wo Keiner wiederkehrt. 

Wo Alle ewig bleiben,
Die dort sich hingestellt,
Entfernt von allem Treiben
Der wechselvollen Welt.  

Und wenn im Frühling treibe
Ein Blümlein aus meinem Grab,  
Dann pflückt es meine Liebe
Wohl unter Thränen ab.
