Grablied für die Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch)
Hauche milder, Abendluft, Klage sanfter, Philomele, Eine schöne, engelreine Seele Schläft in dieser Gruft. Bleich und stumm am düstern Rand Steht der Vater mit dem Sohne, Denen ihres Lebens schönste Krone Schnell mit ihr verschwand. Und sie weinen in die Gruft, Aber ihrer Liebe Zähren Werden sich zum Perlenkranz verklären, Wenn der Engel ruft.
