by Albert Roderich (1846 - 1938)

Es zog des Wegs eine lärmende Schar
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es zog des Wegs eine lärmende Schar,
Die das Glück zu suchen gegangen war. --

Ein Weib stand am Wege verschleiert und stumm;
Sie stürmten weiter und sahn sich nicht um! --

Das Weib schlug lächelnd den Schleier zurück:
Sie waren vorbei schon. Es war das Glück.
