Description:
Ich hatt' einen Kameraden
Ludwig Uhland 1809
In battle he was my comrade,
None better I have had.,
And we pledged our hearts forever
In battle joined together
To beat the foe or fall.
A musket shot came flying
To seal his fate or mine
His life from mine it tore,
And friendship's shrine then crumbled
Around that friend of mine.
His hand is blindly seeking
The clasp I cannot give
For duty calls me onward
Farewell my dying comrade,
Our love shall ever live.
