by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Am Kreuzesstamm
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So wardst du nie vergessen,
geschmähet ohne Scheu,
verhöhnet so vermessen
trotz aller Lieb' und Treu'!

Entrissen dir zum Lohne
von frevler Hand entweiht 
der Purpur und die Krone,
das Antlitz dir bespeit!

Was alle Welt verbunden,
sie tröstete, geraubt!
Verschwunden, ach, verschwunden,
was sie von je geglaubt!

Wie könnt' ich von dir gehen
in solcher großen Not und Pein?
Herr, lass zu dir mich stehen
und ewig treu dir sein!
