Language: German (Deutsch) 
's ist ein so stiller heil'ger Tag,
man hört der Zeiten Flügelschlag.
Der erste Schnee mit leiser Hand
deckt Anger zu und Heideland.
Er hüllt mit lichtem Totenschrein
des Herbstes düst're Trümmer ein.
Wär' für der Seele Trümmerfeld
doch auch ein solcher Schrein bestellt!
