Arme Heilige

Language: German

 Arme Heilige aus Holz
 kam meine Mutter beschenken;
 und sie staunten stumm und stolz
 hinter den harten Bänken.

 Haben ihrem heißen Mühn
 sicher den Dank vergessen,
 kannten nur das Kerzenglühn
 ihrer kalten Messen.

 Aber meine Mutter kam
 ihnen Blumen geben.
 Meine Mutter die Blumen nahm
 alle aus meinem Leben.
