Am Fenster stand die Mutter

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): ENG FRE

Am Fenster stand die Mutter,
Im Bette lag der Sohn.
"Willst du nicht aufstehn, Wilhelm,
Zu schaun die Prozession?"

"Ich bin so krank, o Mutter,
Daß ich nicht hör und seh;
Ich denk an das tote Gretchen,
Da tut das Herz mir weh." -

"Steh auf, wir wollen nach Kevlaar,
Nimm Buch und Rosenkranz;
Die Muttergottes heilt dir
Dein krankes Herze ganz."

Es flattern die Kirchenfahnen,
Es singt im Kirchenton;
Das ist zu Köllen am Rheine,
Da geht die Prozession.

Die Mutter folgt der Menge,
Den Sohn, den führet sie,
Sie singen beide im Chore:
"Gelobt seist du, Marie!"
