¶Liedtext

Into the Silent Land! Ah! who shall lead us thither! Clouds in the evening sky more darkly gather, And shattered wrecks lie on the strand. Who leads us with a gentle hand Thither, O thither, Into the Silent Land? Into the Silent Land! To you, ye boundless regions Of all perfection! Tender morning visions Of beauteous souls! The Future’s pledge and band! Who in Life’s battle firm doth stand, Shall bear Hope’s tender blossoms, Into the Silent Land! O Land! O Land! For all the brokenhearted, The mildest herald by our fate allotted, Beckons, and with inverted torch doth stand, To lead us with a gentle hand Into the land of the great departed, Into the Silent Land! From the German of Johann Gaudenz Gubert Graf von Salis-Seewis (1762–1834)
