by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Denken die Himmlischen
 (Sung text for setting by W. Schreiter)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 Denken die Himmlischen
 Einem der Erdgebornen
 Viele Verwirrungen zu
 Und bereiten sie ihm
 Von der Freude zu Schmerzen
 Und von Schmerzen zur Freude
 Tief erschütternden Übergang:
 Dann erziehen sie ihm
 In der Nähe der Stadt
 Oder am fernen Gestade,
 Daß in Stunden der Not
 Auch die Hülfe bereit sei,
 Einen ruhigen Freund.
 ...
