by Ernst von Marinelli (1824 - 1887)

Das edle Herz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer im Busen nicht die Flamme
nur des eig'nen Altars nährt,
wer den Blick der edlen Liebe
freudig zu dem Bruder kehrt,
wer sich nicht sich selbst geboren,
sondern seinem Schöpfer glaubt,
diesen Glauben nicht verloren,
andern selben nie geraubt,
wer den Wert der eig'nen Habe
gern in dürft'ge Hände legt,
seines Wissens hehre Gabe
auch in fremde Herzen trägt,
wer im Segnen und Beglücken
seines Lebens Freude weiß,
dem erschallet mit Entzücken
dankerfüllter Seelen Preis.
