Nicht im Tale der süßen Heimat
Language: German (Deutsch)
Nicht im Tale der süßen Heimat, Beim Gemurmel der Silberquelle - Bleich getragen aus dem Schlachtfeld Denk' ich dein, du süßes Leben! All die Freunde sind gefallen, Sollt' ich weilen hier der eine? Nein! schon naht der bleiche Bote, Der mich leitet zur süßen Heimat. Flecht ins Haar den Kranz der Hochzeit, Halt bereit die Brautgewande Und die vollen, duft'gen Schalen: Denn wir kehren alle wieder In das Tal der süßen Heimat.
R. Schumann sets stanzas 1-2
