by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Der Wandrer, von der Heimat weit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Wandrer, von der Heimat weit, Wenn rings die Gründe schweigen, Der Schiffer in Meeres Einsamkeit, Wenn die Stern aus den Fluten steigen: Die beiden schauern und lesen In stiller Nacht, Was sie nicht gedacht, Da es noch fröhlicher Tag gewesen.
