Lied

Language: German (Deutsch)

Available translation(s): DUT ENG FRE

Brüder, schrecklich brennt die Träne,
Die verschämte Armut weint;
Findet diese Jammerszene
Unter uns wohl keinen Freund?
Der Verzweiflung preisgegeben
Ringt die welken Hände sie;
Kommt, erleichtert heut' ihr Leben
Durch des Mitleids Sympathie.

Lied D.535 'Stille armoe'

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Vrees'lijk branden tranen, broeders,
Die verborgen armoe schreit;
Zijn wij allen niet haar hoeders,
Is er geen die medelijdt?
Aan vertwijf'ling prijsgegeven,
Staat zij handenwringend daar;
Komt, verlichten wij haar leven
Door een sympathiek gebaar.
