TranslationsFrom the German. Allah
By Siegfried August Mahlmann
A
Allah gives rest in pain,
Cheeks that are white with weeping
Allah paints red again.
Years vanish with flying feet;
But my heart will live on forever,
That here in sadness beat.
Yonder would I take flight;
There will the darkness vanish,
There will my eyes have sight.
