Ins stille Land Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ins stille Land! Wer leitet uns hinüber? Schon wölkt sich uns der Abendhimmel trüber, Und immer trümmervoller wird der Strand. Wer leitet uns mit sanfter Hand Hinüber! ach! hinüber Ins stille Land? Ins stille Land! Zu euch, ihr freyen Räume Für die Veredlung! zarte Morgenträume Der schönen Seelen! künft'gen Daseyns Pfand. Wer treu des Lebens Kampf bestand, Trägt seiner Hoffnung Keime Ins stille Land. Ach Land! ach Land! Für alle Sturmbedrohten Der mildeste von unsers Schicksals Bothen Winkt uns, die Fackel umgewandt, Und leitet uns mit sanfter Hand Ins Land der großen Todten, Ins stille Land.
