by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Friedhof
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Drüben auf der Wiese 
blühen Blumen mancherlei,
rote und blaue und weiße, 
und hoffende Knospen dabei.
Drüben auf der Wiese 
wird es so friedlich mir,
will ich die Welt vergessen, 
so geh' ich herüber zu ihr.

Drüben auf der Wiese 
ruhen Herzen mancherlei,
alte und junge und liebe 
und hoffende Herzen dabei.
Und reden auch alle Herzen
dieselbe Sprache nicht,
o glaub' nur ganz und wahrhaft,
was dir dein Herz verspricht!
