by Eligius Franz Joseph, Freiherr von Münch-Bellinghausen (1806 - 1871), as Friedrich Halm

Ungleiche Theilung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Für dich des Liedes Klänge,
Für mich des Schaffens Qual;
Für mich der Muschel Leiden,
Für dich der Perle Strahl;
 
Für dich die Lorbeerkronen,
Die Dornenkränze mir;
Für mich die dürren Höhen,
Die grünen Thäler dir;
 
Für mich des Herzens Stürme,
Dir einen Sonnenschein,
Für mich des Bechers Hefen,
Der süße Schaum sey dein!
 
Und sagst du: Ungleich theilen
War nie der Liebe Brauch;
So wiss', es wohnt Entzücken
In ihrem Schmerze auch.

Confirmed Gedichte von Friedrich Halm, Stuttgart und Tübingen: J.G. Cotta'scher Verlag, 1850, pages 166.
