2. Wer nie sein Brod mit Thränen ass  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer nie sein Brod [mit]1 Thränen aß,
Wer [nie die kummervollen Nächte]2
Auf seinem [Bette]3 weinend saß,
Der kennt euch nicht, ihr himmlischen Mächte!
 
Ihr führt ins Leben uns hinein,
Ihr laßt den Armen schuldig werden,
Dann überlaßt ihr ihn der Pein:
Denn alle Schuld rächt sich auf Erden.

3. Still beglückt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Vogel singt und fragt nicht, wer ihm lauscht;
Die Quelle rinnt und fragt nicht, wem sie rauscht;
Die Blüme blüht und fragt nicht, wer sie pflückt;
O sorge, Herz, daß gleiches Tun dir Glückt.
