by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Das höchste Glück hat keine Lieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das höchste Glück hat keine Lieder,
Der tiefste Schmerz hat keinen Laut,
Sie spiegeln beide still sich wieder
Im Tropfen, der vom Auge thaut.

So einen sich in stummen Zähren
Das höchste Glück, das tiefste Leid,
Bis sie in Liebe sich verklären,
Anbetend in Gottseligkeit.
