Im Frühling
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Leise sank von dunklen Schritten der Schnee, Im Schatten des Baums Heben die rosigen Lider Liebende. Immer folgt den dunklen Rufen der Schiffer Stern und Nacht; Und die Ruder schlagen leise im Takt. Balde an verfallener Mauer blühen Die Veilchen Ergrünt so stille die Schläfe des Einsamen.
