Über die tausend Berge
Language: German (Deutsch)
Über die tausend Berge sollst du fliegen von Glück und Leid, über vieltausend Berge in Deine Ewigkeit -- Lächelnd voll seliger Schmerzen derer, die drunten gehn, die unsrer wagenden Herzen Vogelglück nie verstehn -- Über die tausend Berge sollst du fliegen von Glück und Leid, über vieltausend Berge in Deine Ewigkeit.
