by Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)

Auf die Sixtinische Madonna
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie trägt zur Welt ihn: und er schaut entsetzt
in ihrer Greu'l chaotische Verwirrung,
in ihrer Tobens wilde Raserei,
in ihres Treibens nie geheilte Torheit,
in ihrer Qualen nie gestillten Schmerz --
entsetzt: doch strahlet Ruh und Zuversicht
und Siegesglanz sein Aug', verkündigend
schon der Erlösung ewige Gewißheit.
