by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Ein kalter Todesschauer
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein kalter Todesschauer
Weht hin durch die Natur,
Die Bäume steh'n voll Trauer,
Voll Trauer steht die Flur.

Wie ist's auf allen Wegen
So öde und so fahl,
Kein Blümchen lacht entgegen
Dem frost'gen Sonnenstrahl.

Ist alles hingeschwunden,
Nur Astern steh'n allein,
Als wollten sie gewunden
Zu Todtenkränzen seyn.

D'rum möcht das Herz ich scharren
Tief in das dürre Laub,
Dort sollt' es ruh'n und harren,
Bis neu ergrünt der Staub.

Bis wieder mild hernieder
Das Aug' der Liebe lacht,
Vielleicht daß ihm dann wieder
Ein neuer Lenz erwacht.
