by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)
Du bist vom Schlaf erstanden
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du bist vom Schlaf erstanden Und wandelst durch die Au. Da liegt ob allen Landen Der Himmel wunderblau. [So lang du ohne Sorgen Geschlummert schmerzenlos]1, Der Himmel bis zum Morgen Viel Tränen niedergoß. In stillen Nächten weinet Oft mancher aus dem Schmerz, Und morgens dann [ihr]2 meinet, Stets fröhlich sei sein Herz.
