4. Tief in der Erde  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tief in der Erde [nur wirst Du liegen]1  
Friedlich und kühl, 
Hier mußt du dulden, leiden und kriegen 
Um einen Pfühl 
Tief in der Erde!  

Tief in der Erde schweigen die Herzen 
Regungslos kalt, 
Ob sie jauchzten  --  ob brachen in Schmerzen, 
Längst ist verhallt 
Tief in der Erde!  

Tief in der Erde erst endet das Sehnen, 
Das Dich durchglüht, 
Denn für des Leidens ätzende Thränen 
Ein Kräutchen nur blüht: 
"Tief in der Erde!" 

Text Authorship:

  • by Friedrich Steinbach , "Tief in der Erde"
