by Hermann von Lingg (1820 - 1905)

Von all' den Tapfern, welche starben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Von [all' den] 1 Tapfern, welche starben,
  Beneidet jeder deinen Tod,
Du fielst, die Blume zwischen Garben,
  Ein Stern im ersten Morgenroth.

Zu schau'n in deiner [schönen]2 Züge
  Nun sanft und still gewordnes Leid,
Es mahnt mich fast wie schwere Rüge,
  Beschleicht mich [wie ein]3 tiefer Neid.

Ein stiller Vorwurf scheint zu schweben
  Um deine Lippen, und dein Mund
Zu sprechen noch: wie kann man leben,
  Wenn alles Große geht zu Grund?

O doppelt brennen solche Wunden!
  O [flucherfüllter Bruderkrieg]4!
Um Kreuze wird der Kranz gewunden,
  Und Trauerglocken läuten Sieg.
