Siehe, von allen den Liedern nicht eines gilt dir, o Mutter! Dich zu preisen, o glaub's, bin ich zu arm und zu reich. Ein noch ungesungenes Lied ruhst du mir [im]1 Busen, Keinem vernehmbar sonst, mich nur zu trösten bestimmt, Wenn sich das Herz unmutig der Welt abwendet und einsam Seines himmlischen Teils [bleibenden]2 Frieden bedenkt.
Drei Lieder , opus 41

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.
Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".
1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above. Lachner: Both "Gipfeln" and "Wipfeln."2 Schubert: "Vöglein"
