by Felix Biedermann (1870 - 1928), as Felix Dörmann
Sieh! Du mußt es mir vergeben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sieh! Du mußt es mir vergeben, Wenn ich manchmal schroff und hart: Toll und traurig war mein Leben Eine wüste Pilgerfahrt Schwer hab' ich nach Haus gefunden, Bitter musst' ich irre geh'n, Und ich kenne Stunden ... Stunden, Wo Gespenster aufersteh'n.
