by August von Kotzebue (1761 - 1819)

Aus dem Singspiel Der blinde Gärtner oder Die blühende Aloe
 (Sung text for setting by J. Amon)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ohne zu erliegen
kann der Mensch sich fügen
in der Armut Joch;
aber Fesseln tragen,
die das Herz zernagen,
das ist schwerer noch.

Prunk und Leckerbissen
kann der Arme missen
ohne Gram und Harm.
Nur wenn er entbehret,
was das Herz begehret,
dann nur ist er arm.
