Es liegt kein Grab so öd' und leer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Es liegt kein Grab so öd' und leer,
Es wirft der Lenz ein Blümlein drauf;
Es ist kein Herz so voll und schwer,
Die Zeit, die richtet's tröstend auf.

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
No grave lies so desolate and empty
But that springtime scatters a floweret upon it;
There is no heart so full and laden,
But that time comfortingly raises it up again.
