by Josef Ludwig Stoll (1778 - 1815)

Die Zeit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Es sitzt die Zeit im weissen Kleid
Und webt und singt und webt.
Sie sitzt über ein offenes Grab
Es rollen ihr lächelnd die Tränen herab.
 
Es sitzt die Zeit im weissen Kleid
Und webt und singt und webt.
So sitzt sie singend viel tausend Jahr
Und weint und lächelt und webt immerdar.
