by Franz (Seraphicus) Grillparzer (1791 - 1872)

Ohne Geld, doch ohne Sorgen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ohne Geld, doch ohne Sorgen,
Was gleicht meiner Seligkeit,
Geld, ei, Geld, das kann ich borgen!
Doch wer ist, der Frohsinn leiht!

Heute sorget ihr für morgen,
Morgen für die Ewigkeit,
Ich will heut für heute sorgen,
Morgen ist für morgen Zeit.

Und die Zukunft? – Wenn auch morgen
Mich der Tod zum Opfer weiht,
Frei von Schuld sein und von Sorgen,
Ist ja hier schon Seligkeit!
