"At my father's grave," Mathias Claudius says.

Let this gravestone be a place of healing!

The God's gentle harmony!

Ah, you've laid to rest a decent man.

and he was even more to me;

This man showered me with blessings,

as if you were a star from another planet!

And I'm not in a position to repay you.

what he has bestowed upon me

They buried him here after he died.

Can God's gentle, sweet solace comfort you.

as well as the assurance of everlasting existence

keep his bones healthy

before the mighty and exalted Jesus Christ,

He is kindly awakened. They've buried him, oh no!

They've laid to rest a decent man.

He was a lot more to me.
