Gehn täglich viel Leute am Hause vorbei,
Der liebste von Allen, der ist nicht dabei!
Wie sollt er denn kommen, der Himmel ist weit
Und führt keine Straße herab in die Zeit.

Daily many people walk past my house

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Daily many people walk past my house,
The most beloved one of all is not among them!
How should he come, after all; Heaven is far away
And no street leads down into time.
