Verse 5, line 3" should be Gräber.

The novel doesn't really have the words set as a lyric-although the prose is quite poetic. See Suzanne post, quoting Seeger.
An excellent book; I forget who made the English translation, but it is engrossing prose. The book was picked up by many book clubs and paperback publishers, thus was widely read everywhere.
