So arm ist keine Heide

  So arm ist keine Heide
Und so verlassen ganz,
Es grüßt in ihrem Leide
Sie traut des Mondes Glanz.
  Und scheut sich auch die Sonne,
Zu nahn der stummen Qual,
O sieh, wie lacht voll Wonne
Zur Nacht das öde Thal!

  So arm ist und vergessen
Kein Herz auf Erden je,
Es will der Herr ermessen
Vom Himmel mild sein Weh.
  Und weiß für's tiefste Grauen
Kein Mensch ein tröstend Wort,
Zur Wehmuth mag's zerthauen
Vor Gottes Huld sofort!
