Tröstung
 (Sung text for setting by E. Zumsteeg)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Wer des Leidens Kelch geleeret,
Sucht ein Herz, das ihn versteht,
Das den Blick voll Tränen ehret,
Tröstend ihm zur Seite geht.

Durch des Lebens dunkle Ferne
Reicht die Freundschaft ihm die Hand,
Hin zu jenem bessern Sterne,
In sein neues Vaterland.

Wo in sanfter Abendstille
Lieb' und Ruhe hold vereint,
Durch des Frühlings Blütenfülle
Lächelnd ihm entgegen scheint.
