Der Klostergarten

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Im stillen Klostergarten
Fangt's wieder an zu blüh'n,
Doch blicken nur weiße Rosen 
Hervor aus dunkelm Grün.

In Beeten stehen Lilien
Wie neugefall'ner Schnee,
Sie senken halb die Häupter,
Als trügen sie ein Weh.

Und in dem grünen Gange
Wallt eine Nonne mild,
Gehüllt in weiße Schleier,
Zum Mutter-Gottes-Bild.

Sie kniet am Bilde nieder,
Und schaut zu ihm hinauf,
Und aus den Augen nehmen
Zwei Thränlein ihren Lauf.
