O selig, wer sein Leben
 (Sung text for setting by F. Danzi)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
 ... 

O selig, wer sein Leben
Der Selbstgenügsamkeit,
Umgrünt von eignen Reben,
Am Vaterherde weiht!
Auch mir, auch mir, vom Schwarme
Der Narrenbühne fern,
Blinkt einst am Freundesarme
Der Dämmerung schöner Stern.
