by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)
Allein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie zerriss'ner Saiten Klingen Tönt mein Lachen mir in's Ohr, Und die heißen Thränen dringen Bitterlich zum Aug' empor. Ob ich lache oder weine, Ach, es ist ja Alles eins: Leid und Lust trag' ich alleine, Meine Thränen kümmern keins.
