Und kommt er nimmermehr?
...
Er ist todt, o weh!
In dein Totbett geh',
Er kommt dir nimmermehr.
Sein Bart war weiss wie Schnee,
Sein Haupt wie Flachs dazu.
Er ist hin, er ist hin,
Kein Trauern bringt Gewinn:
Mit seiner Seele Ruh'!
Und mit allen Christenseelen! darum bet' ich! --
Gott sei mit euch!Text Authorship:
