by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Es wandelt was wir schauen See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es wandelt, was wir schauen,
Tag sinkt in's Abendrot,
Die Lust hat eig'nes Grauen,
Und alles hat den Tod.
In's Leben schleicht das Leiden
Sich heimlich wie ein Dieb,
Wir alle müssen scheiden
Von allem, was uns lieb.
