by Joseph Stierle-Holzmeister (1781 - 1848)

Das suchende Herz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sehnend Herz! Du suchtest Liebe
glühend wie der Sonne Licht,
rein wie deine eig'nen Triebe;
armes Herz! Sie ward dir nicht.

Gläubig Herz! Du suchtest Treue
dauernd bis das Auge bricht,
ohne Wanken, ohne Reue,
treues Herz! Du fandest nicht.

Müdes Herz! Du suchest Frieden,
der so schmerzlich dir gebricht;
findest nimmer ihn hienieden.
Brich, o Herz! Sonst ruhst du nicht.

Confirmed with J. Stierle Holzmeisters gesammelte humoristische Erzählungen und Gedichte, 3. Bd., Wien, 1844.
