by Frida Schanz (1859 - 1944)

Gib her!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Verloschen ist das Licht.
Die Lider werden schwer.
Leis kommt der Schlaf und spricht
Mit holdem Klang: „Gib her!

Gib her die dumpfe Pein,
Die hoffnungslose Hast!
Leicht soll dein Schritt nun sein.
Gib her die ganze Last!

Was dich so müd gemacht,
Was dich gedrückt so sehr,
Ich trag dir's diese Nacht!
Ich nehm dir's ab! Gib her!

Gib her!“ - - O tiefe Ruh!
Wie atmest du befreit.
Wie selig wanderst du
In’s Land Vergessenheit!
