by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)
Sängers Trost
Language: German (Deutsch)
Weint auch einst [kein Liebchen]1 Tränen auf mein Grab, Träufeln doch die Blumen [Milden]2 Tau hinab; Weilt an ihm kein Wandrer Im [Vorüberziehn]3, Blickt auf seiner Reise Doch der Mond [dahin]4. Denkt auf diesen Fluren Bald kein [Erdner mein]5, Denkt doch mein die Aue Und der stille Hain. Blumen, Hain und Aue, Stern und Mondenlicht, Die ich sang, vergessen Ihres Sängers nicht.
