by Mia Holm, née von Hedenström (1845 - 1912)

O Glocken, böse Glocken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O Glocken, böse Glocken, habt schweren, dumpfen Klang
ihr stöhnet meiner Süßen den Totengang.

O Tod, du finstres Rätsel, mit steinernem Gesicht!
Wie sich am Fels die Woge, an dir mein Denken bricht!

Die Tränen machen müde, die Augen fallen zu,
o könnt' ich schlafen, Kindchen, so tief wie du.
