by Lily Bernhard (flourished 1840)
Kleine Tropfen, seid ihr Tränen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kleine Tropfen, seid ihr Tränen An den Blumenkelchen da? Oder war's des Herzens Sehnen, Das die Blumen weinen sah? Frühlingssäuseln, wehst die Klagen In das zarte junge Grün? Oder hör' nur ich es fragen: Wo sind deine Freuden hin? Gottes Augen seid ihr nimmer, Sternlein in dem Himmelszelt! Ach, es strahlt kein Trostesschimmer In die freudenlose Welt!
