by Georg Scherer (1824 - 1909)

Ob die Freude dir im Herzen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ob die Freude dir im Herzen
Still als duft'ge Blume blüht,
Ob mit weihevollen Schmerzen
Dich ein heil'ges Leid durchglüht:

Birg es tief im Heiligthume
Deiner Brust vor aller Welt,
Wie den Tropfen Thau die Blume
Tief im Kelch verschlossen hält!
