Halte still
 (Sung text for setting by R. Langgaard)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn dich erfasst der bitt're Schmerz,
O, halte still, und fluch' Ihm nicht,
Doch hat sich satt geweint dein Herz,
So schau' dem Leid in's Angesicht.

Mit Engelsaugen schaut's dich an,
Drin Glanz des ew'gen Lichtes scheint!
Die rauhe Hand hat weh gethan
Und hat es doch so gut gemeint.

Composition:

    Set to music by Rued Langgaard (1893 - 1952), "Halte still", 1913/15? [ voice and piano ]
