by Wilhelm Raabe (1831 - 1910)

Schnee
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es hat geschneit die ganze Nacht,
Bis an den grauen Morgen;
Es hielt ['ne]1 traurige Totenwacht
Mein Herz in Not und Sorgen.

Es hielt mein armes Herze Wacht
[Wohl über]2 der toten Liebe;
Es hat geschneit die ganze Nacht
Bis an den Morgen trübe.

Ja gestern war die Erd' so grau,
Die Welt war abgestorben:
Nun legte das Tuch die Leichenfrau,
Man merkt nicht, was verdorben!
