by Armin Rüeger (1886 - 1957)

Bei der Kirche
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Es gehen zur Kirche die Leute,
sie beten im Chor,
von ferne tönt Herdengeläute,
wir stehn am Tor.

Erhört eine Gottheit ihr Flehn?
Ich glaub' es nicht,
sonst würd' ich bei jenen stehen
und beten für dich.
