by Wilhelm Heilwig Carl Robert August von Ungern-Sternberg (1777 - 1847)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Immer sich rein
Kindlich erfreu'n,
Selig, wer's kann.
Jubeln und singen,
Hüpfen und springen,
Selig, wer's kann.
Lachen und scherzen
Mit fröhlichem Herzen,
Selig, wer's kann.
Sorgen zerstreuen,
Gerne verzeihen,
Selig, wer's kann.
Menschen beglücken,
Welch' ein Entzücken!
Selig, wer's kann.
Böses nicht messen
Und Vieles vergessen,
Selig, wer's kann.
