by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Droben stehet die Kapelle, Schauet still ins Tal hinab, Drunten singt bei Wies' und Quelle Froh und hell der Hirtenknab'. Traurig tönt das Glöcklein nieder, Schauerlich der Leichenchor; Stille sind die frohen Lieder, Und der Knabe lauscht empor. Droben bringt man sie zu Grabe, Die sich freuten in dem Tal. Hirtenknabe, Hirtenknabe! Dir auch singt man dort einmal.
