An meine Mutter
 (Sung text for setting by J. Wetzel)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Siehe, von allen den Liedern nicht eines gilt dir, o Mutter!
Dich zu preisen, o glaub's, bin ich zu arm und zu reich. 
Ein noch ungesungenes Lied ruhst du mir im Busen,
Keinem vernehmbar sonst, mich nur zu trösten bestimmt, 
Wenn sich das Herz unmutig der Welt abwendet und einsam 
Seines himmlischen Teils ewigen Frieden bedenkt.

Composition:

    Set to music by Justus Hermann Wetzel (1879 - 1973), "An meine Mutter", op. 3 no. 5 [ voice and piano ]
