by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Nicht die Träne Kann es sagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nicht die Träne Kann es sagen,
Die da fällt auf deinen Sarg,
Welches Leid um dich wir tragen,
Welch'ein Herz das Grab uns barg.

Nur der Trauer heil'ge Stunde,
Nur ein treugehegter Gram,
Nur der Schmerzen off'ne Wunde
Sage, was der Tod uns nahm.
