Language: German (Deutsch)
Leise sank von dunklen Schritten der Schnee, Im Schatten des Baums Heben die rosigen Lider Liebende. Immer folgt den dunklen Rufen der Schiffer Stern und Nacht; Und die Ruder schlagen leise im Takt. Balde an verfallener Mauer blühen Die Veilchen Ergrünt so stille die Schläfe des Einsamen.
