by Wilhelmina Christiane von Chézy, née Klencke (1783 - 1856)

Hoffen und Ahnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Finden und Scheiden]1, Wechseln und Fliehn, 
Hoffen und Ahnden, Entstehn und Verblühn, 
Das ist das Leben, die Liebe, der Mai  --  
Aber der Schmerz bleibt, der Schmerz der ist treu! 

Laß uns im Herzen tragen vereint, 
Was wir gelitten, was wir beweint; 
Dann sind wir ferne immer doch nah, 
Nichts ist so ferne, es findet sich da!
