by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)
Als wir schieden, da war's am Himmel...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Als wir schieden, da war's am Himmel stürmisch und trübe, Lag die Erde [so]1 kalt, schwiegen die Vögel im Tal. Jahre schwanden indes, noch stürmt mir immer der Himmel, Liegt die Erde mir kalt, singt mir kein Vogel im Tal.
