by Franz Evers (1871 - 1947)

Gruss
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lächelnd fand ich des Zwistes Lösung 
liebend nenn ich dich Schwesterlein, 
will dein guter Gefährte sein. 

Wenn du schwere Stunden erfahren, 
lege dein Herz in meine Hand, 
bis dir alle Bitternis schwand. 

Bin dir nah mit stetem Behüten, 
ob du jubelst, ob du klagst, 
mehr als du es glauben magst. 

Webe um dich mit feinen Fåden 
meiner Seele zart Gespinnst, 
bis du stil zu sein beginnst. 

Werde dir so in allen Tagen 
wie ein heller Sonntag sein, 
liebes Schwesterlein.

Confirmed with Franz Evers, Erntelieder, Leipzig, Verlag "Kreisende Ringe" (Max Spohr), 1901, page 82.
