Weihnachtsgefühl
Language: German (Deutsch)
Naht die jubelvolle Zeit[,] Kommt auch mir ein Sehnen; Längst entflohner Seligkeit Denk ich nach mit Tränen. Und ich schaue, wie im Traum, Ihren fernen Schimmer Weben um den Weihnachtsbaum, Kehrt sie selbst auch nimmer.
Confirmed with Wartburgstimmen, Zweiter Jahrgang, 2, 1904, page 352.
