by Ferdinand Avenarius (1856 - 1923)

Gebet

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Ertrage dus, laß schneiden dir den Schmerz
Scharf durchs Gehirn und wühlen hart durchs Herz --
Das ist der Pflug, nach dem der Sämann sät,
Daß aus der Erde Wunden Korn ersteht. 

Korn, das der armen Seele Hunger stillt --
Mit Korn, o Vater, segne mein Gefild:
Reiß deinem Pflug erbarmungslos den Pfad,
Doch wirf auch ein in seine Furchen Saat!
