2. Wanderer an den Tod
(Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Auch zu mir kommst du einmal,
Du vergißt mich nicht,
Und zu Ende ist die Qual
Und die Kette bricht.

Noch erscheinst du fremd und fern,
Lieber Bruder Tod.
Stehest als ein kühler Stern
Über meiner Not.

Aber einmal wirst du nah
Und voll Flammen sein --
Komm, Geliebter, ich bin da,
Nimm mich, ich bin dein.

Text Authorship:

by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Bruder Tod", written 1918, first published 1920
