by Eduard Mörike (1804 - 1875)
An meine Mutter
Language: German (Deutsch)
Siehe, von allen den Liedern nicht eines gilt dir, o Mutter! Dich zu preisen, o glaub's, bin ich zu arm und zu reich. Ein noch ungesungenes Lied ruhst du mir [im]1 Busen, Keinem vernehmbar sonst, mich nur zu trösten bestimmt, Wenn sich das Herz unmutig der Welt abwendet und einsam Seines himmlischen Teils [bleibenden]2 Frieden bedenkt.
