Lyrics
Die Drei
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Drei Reiter nach verlor'ner Schlacht,
wie reiten sie so sacht, so sacht,
aus tiefen Wunden quillt das Blut,
es spürt das Ross die warme Flut.
Vom Sattel läuft das Blut, vom Zaum
und spült hinunter Staub und Schaum;
die Rosse schreiten sanft und weich,
sonst flöss das Blut zu rasch, zu reich.
Die Reiter reiten dicht gesellt
und Einer sich am Andern hält.
Sie seh'n sich traurig ins Gesicht
und Einer um den Andern spricht:
"Mir blüht daheim die schönste Maid,
drum tut mein früher Tod mir leid."
"Hab Hof und Heim und dichten Wald
und sterben muss ich hier so bald."
"Hab nur den Blick in dieser Welt,
sonst nichts, doch schwer mir's sterben fällt..."
Und lauernd auf dem Todesritt
ziehn durch die Luft drei Geier mit,
die teilen kreischend unter sich:
"Den speisest Du, den Du, den ich!"...
