Dreyfach ist der Schritt der Zeit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Dreyfach ist der Schritt der Zeit,
Zögernd kommt die Zukunft hergezogen,
Pfeilschnell ist das Jetzt entflogen,
Ewig still steht die Vergangenheit.
Keine Ungeduld beflügelt
Ihren Schritt, wenn sie verweilt.
Keine Furcht, kein Zweifeln zügelt
Ihren Lauf, wenn sie enteilt.
Keine Reu, kein Zaubersegen
Kann die stehende bewegen.
Möchtest du beglückt und weise
Endigen des Lebens Reise,
Nimm die Zögernde zum Rath,
Nicht zum Werkzeug deiner That.
Wähle nicht die Fliehende zum Freund,
Nicht die Bleibende zum Feind.
