by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)

An meine Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Siehe, von allen den Liedern nicht eines gilt dir, o Mutter!
Dich zu preisen, o glaub's, bin ich zu arm und zu reich. 
Ein noch ungesungenes Lied ruhst du mir im Busen,
Keinem vernehmbar sonst, mich nur zu trösten bestimmt, 
Wenn sich das Herz unmutig der Welt abwendet und einsam 
Seines himmlischen Teils bleibenden Frieden bedenkt.
