Es ist lang

(Sung text for setting by H. Badings)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Es ist lang, -- es ist lang ...
wann -- weiß ich gar nicht zu sagen ...
eine Glocke klang, eine Lerche sang --
und ein Herz hat so selig geschlagen.
Der Himmel so blank überm Jungwaldhang,

der Flieder hat Blüten getragen, --
und im Sonntagskleide ein Mädchen, schlank,
das Auge voll staunender Fragen ...
Es ist lang, -- es ist lang ...

Composition:

Henk Badings
