by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

Es stehn die Stern am Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es stehn die Stern am Himmel, 
es scheint der Mond so hell, 
die Toten reiten schnell. 
Der Hahn beginnt zu krähen 
und singet an den Tag, 
nicht lang mehr bleiben mag. 
Auf einer grünen Haide, 
da ist mein Haus gebaut 
für mich und meine Braut.
