by Karl Ludwig August Heino, Freiherr von Münchhausen (1759 - 1836)

Über ein Grab hin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Je länger du dort bist,
Um so mehr bist du hier,
Je weiter du fort bist,
Um so näher bei mir.

Du wirst mir notwendiger,
Als das tägliche Brot ist, -
Du wirst lebendiger,
Je länger du tot bist.
