by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)
Im Winter
Language: German (Deutsch)
Als meine Freunde, Die Bäume, noch blühten, Rosen und Feuer- Lilien [glühten]1, Waren die Menschen All mir bekannt, War mir die Erde Lieb und verwandt. Jetzt, wo die Freunde, Die Bäume, gestorben, Jetzt, wo die Lieben, Die Blumen, verdorben, Stehen die Menschen Kalt auf dem Schnee, Und was sie treiben, Macht mir nur weh.
