Am frühen Sonntagmorgen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Am frühen [Sonntagmorgen]1, Da geh' ich gern hinaus, Und alle engen Sorgen Lass' ich im engen Haus. Der Wind in Klüften kauert, Traut sich nicht in die Welt. Ein Wehen Gottes schauert Nur sanft durch's Ährenfeld. Und so durch's Herz von Leiden Und Freuden schwellend, geht In lieblichem Bescheiden Ein flüsterndes Gebet.
