Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus der Heimat hinter den Blitzen rot Da kommen die Wolken her, Aber Vater und Mutter sind lange tot, Es kennt mich dort [keiner]1 mehr. Wie bald, wie bald kommt die stille Zeit, Da ruhe ich auch, und über mir [Rauschet]2 die schöne Waldeinsamkeit, Und keiner [mehr kennt mich auch]3 hier.
H. Eisler sets stanza 1
