Weichet, Sorgen, von mir! ‑‑ Doch ach!...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Weichet, Sorgen, von mir! -- Doch ach! den sterblichen Menschen
  Lässet die Sorge nicht los, eh ihn das Leben verläßt.
Soll es einmal denn seyn: so kommt ihr, Sorgen der Liebe,
  Treibt die Geschwister hinaus, nehmt und behauptet mein Herz!
