Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Punkt nur ist der Mensch in [diesem]1 Weltgebäude;
Doch oft auch eine Sonn' im eigenen System,
Ein reicher Mittelpunkt, aus dem
Sich Wärm' und Licht und Freude
Beseligend auf das ergießt,
Womit er in Verbindung ist.
Spendou! so hall's in unserem Verein,
Spendou! so dank' ihm jeder Witwe Ruf,
Spendou! Spendou! [war]2 dieser Sonnenschein,
Als er das Institut der Witwen schuf.
