Kein Hälmlein wächst auf Erden
 (Sung text for setting by W. Bach)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Kein Hälmlein wächst auf Erden,
Der Himmel hat's betaut,
Und kann kein Blümlein werden,
Die Sonne hat's erschaut.

Wenn du auch tief beklommen
In Waldesnacht allein:
Einst wird von Gott dir kommen
Dein Tau und Sonnenschein.

Dann sproßt, was dir indessen
Als Keim im Herzen lag,
So ist kein Ding vergessen,
Ihm kommt ein Blütentag.
