by Oscar von Redwitz-Schmölz (1823 - 1891)

Mein Wurf ist karg gefallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Wurf ist karg gefallen,
Ich trag' kein Gold am Stahl,
Ich hab' nicht reiche Hallen,
Nicht Rosse sonder Zahl.

Mir sind nicht Dörfer fröhnig,
Und klein ist mein Revier;
Doch ist mein Herz ein König –
O Gott! Wie dank' ich dir!
