'Das Herz ist mir bedruckt und sehnlich
Gedenke ich der alten Zeit;
Die Welt war damals noch so wohnlich
Und ruhig lebten hin die Leut.
Doch jetzt ist alles wie verschoben
Das ist ein Drongen eine Noth;
Gestroben ist der herr Gott oben
Und unten ist der Teufel todt.
Und Alles schaut so gramlich trube,
So krausvervirrt und morsch und kalt.' |
