by Emil Rudolf Osman, Prinz von Schönaich-Carolath (1852 - 1908)

Trost
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das Trauern gib auf 
Um verfehlten, verlorenen Lebenslauf,
Es bleibt kein Suchen vergebens.
Dereinst kommt Kraft;
Das Wollen schafft 
Vollendung ewigen Lebens.

Was sehnend erdacht, 
Ob nie vollbracht, 
Nicht sinkt es zum Unerfüllten.
Im Marmorblock 
Schläft das Sonnengelock 
Der Schönheit, der sacht verhüllten.

Ein Meißelschlag, 
Ein durchfieberter Tag 
Kann deinen Tempel bauen,
Der Nebel weicht, 
noch heut' vielleicht 
Wirst Gott Du schauen.
