by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Stumme Trauer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Todtenstille! Tiefstes Schweigen!
Welk die Frühlingsherrlichkeit!
Düster bis zur Erde neigen
Sich die Wolken weit und breit.

Todtenstille! -- Wie ich spähe,
Nicht ein Lüftchen rauscht im Baum;
Nur ein Blatt fällt in der Nähe
Auf den Rasen wie im Traum. --

O Natur wie willst du neigen
Trostreich dich zu meinem Schmerz:
Wie ein Freund mit heilgem Schweigen
Legst du mir die Hand auf's Herz.

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, page 137.
