by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Das muss wohl so sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie haben ihn fortgetragen,
versenkt in die Erde hinein;
ich sollte nicht weinen, nicht klagen,
sie sagten, das müsse so sein.

Mir drohte das Herz zu zerbrechen
vor Jammer und Elend und Pein;
ich höre sie immer nur sprechen,
das müsse, das müsse so sein.

Wohl muss die Blüte verderben,
verbleichen des Lenzes Schein;
vereinsamte Liebe muss sterben,
das muss wohl, das muss wohl so sein.
