Der getreue Eckart
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
In der finstern Mitternacht Steht der Ritter auf der Wacht, Schauet hin nach jeder Seit, Droht mit seinem Schwerte weit. Wer auch anzukommen wagt, Dieses eine sei gesagt: Dieser Berg ist nicht geheuer, Drinnen brennt das Höllenfeuer. Was für süße Töne auch, Was euch winken schöne Fraun: Eure Seele muß verderben, Muß dem Himmel hier absterben.
