by Ernst von Wildenbruch (1845 - 1909)

Will die Seele dir verzagen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Will die Seele dir verzagen
  In der Leiden Übermaß,
Wehre deinem Mund die Klagen
  Und bewahre dich vor Haß.

Lies des Kummers tiefe Zeichen
  Aus so manchem Angesicht,
Deinem Leid wird manches gleichen
  Und das Einz'ge ist es nicht.

Nein, der Menschen Thränen 
  quillen Rings soweit die Sonne scheint
Und nur der kann Thränen stillen,
  Welcher bitter selbst geweint.

Trage drum mit stiller Stärke
  All' das Leiden, das dich kränkt,
Zu der Liebe heil'gem Werke
  Ward es dir von Gott geschenkt.
