by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Ein Bild am Pfade
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Ein Bild am Pfade so mild, so fein 
[Die Frau]1 der Gnade birgt hold der Schrein. 
Vorüber fliehet der stolze Sinn, 
Die Demut ziehet es mächtig hin.

Es bergen dich Rosen und Efeuzier, 
Sie alle kosen so traut mit dir; 
Der Rosendüfte geweihter Schwall, 
Gestirne, Lüfte, sie grüßen all.

Ein Bild am Pfade so mild, so fein 
[Die Frau]1 der Gnade birgt hold der Schrein. 
[Erbitt']2 mir Gnade, o Mutter du, 
Auf jedem Pfade und dann die Ruh.
