by Walter Calé (1881 - 1904)

Der Tod wird uns an seine Hände nehmen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Tod wird uns an seine Hände nehmen,
Ein Führer jener Seelen, welche irrten,
Und sprechen: "Dieses ist der rechte Weg!"
Und weiter sprechen: "Dieses ist das Land,
Nach welchem ihr Verlangen habt und Tränen."
Dann aber werden wir die Blicke senken
Und voller Trauer fragen: "Dieses nur?"
