by Ferdinand Avenarius (1856 - 1923)

Freunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Schmerzen und Freuden
Reift jede Stunde
Zu goldenen Ernten,
Und zwischen den Ähren lächelt auf
Aus Blumen die Schönheit.

Aber den Herzen einzusammeln,
Daß voller stets [beflügele]1 sich ihr Schlag,
Freunde, eint eure Kraft mit uns:
Aus dem Irdischen
Sammelnd das Göttliche,
Daß wir das Leben
Ernten!
