Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: DUT
Über meiner Sehnsucht Brücke Wandl' ich still zur alten Zeit, Zu der Jugend offnem Glücke Trag' ich mein verschloss'nes Leid. Dann wie treue Mutterhände Rührt es an mich sanft und lind, Und ich sink' aufs Knie am Ende, Lach' und wein' und bin ein Kind.
