by Adolf Wölfli (1864 - 1930)

Graab‑Innschrift 1,868
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Graab-Innschrift 1,868,
Es ist doch Gottes Wille: 
Daß Glük verschwinden muß!
Und zirpt im Wald die Grille:
Fällt Alles in den Ruß. 
Hält mihr der Schatz nicht stille!
Ebjä!! Weil ich doch muss:
Ist es doch Gottes Wille:
Dass Glück verschwinden muss.
