O, Kinderzeit
 (Sung text for setting by A. van de Weg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
O, Kinderzeit! Was liegt in diesen Klängen, 
  Für eine wunderbare Melodie! 
Wie viel Gestalten sich dazwischen drängen, 
  Sie spricht zum Herzen und veraltet nie. 
Mit Schmerzenssehnsucht wird sie uns durchbeben, 
  Treibt uns das Schicksal in die Welt hinaus, 
Denn was sich niemals wiederholt im Leben, 
  Das ist die Heimath und das Vaterhaus! 

 ...
