by Hans Heinrich Ehrler (1872 - 1951)

Erloschen ist der Sterne schimmernd Heer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Chosen for Diff
Erloschen ist der Sterne schimmernd Heer.
Der Morgenstern als letzter ringsumher,
Der wartet mit mir, wie es draußen tagt.
Das ist so schön und weit und aller Schwere leer.
O wenn mir auch mein Blut genommen wär,
Das nach dir fragt.
