by Karl Eduard von Holtei (1798 - 1880)

Es stand auf grüner Haiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es stand auf grüner Haiden
Die bleiche Braut allein;
Die Sonne wollte scheiden
Mit ihrem blassen Schein --
Sonne, noch einmal blicke zurück!

Es brennen am Altare
Die Kerzen wundersam,
Der Brautkranz schmückt die Haare,
Es harrt der Bräutigam -- -- 
Sonne, noch einmal blicke zurück!
