By Siegfried August Mahlmann
Allah gives light in darkness, / Allah gives rest in pain, / Cheeks that are white with weeping / Allah paints red again.
The flowers and the blossoms wither, / Years vanish with flying fleet; / But my heart will live on forever, / That here in sadness beat.
Gladly to Allah's dwelling / Yonder would I take flight; / There will the darkness vanish, / There will my eyes have sight.
