Trostlos
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Glaubet nicht es wären Tränen, was die Wange mir genäßt, nein des Herzens heißes Sehnen hat mir Blut in's Aug' gepreßt! Tränen bringen milde Kunde, werden oft zur stillen Lust, doch aus meiner tiefen Wunde strömt kein Trost mir in die Brust!
