Am Fenster stand die Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch)
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!"
