by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Grablied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Pilger Auf Erden, so raste am Ziele,
Hier labe dich Frieden nach langer Fährt.
Was auch dein Herzweh,
Was auch dein Leid war,
Heilenden Balsam gab dir der Tod.
Pilger auf Erden, vom Wandern ermattet,
Nun ruhe im Schoße der Erde aus.

Pilger auf Sternen, unsterbliche Seele,
Du schwebst zum Himmel auf gold'nem Pfad.
Badest im Glanzmeer göttlicher Klarheit,
Nur, was dem staub war, gabst du dem Staub,
Pilger auf Sternen, die Träne der Sehnsucht
Geleite zur ewigen Heimat dich.
