by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866)

Ich wollte, daß der Frieden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich wollte, daß der Frieden,
Der von mir ist entflogen,
Bei dir wär' eingezogen
Und ewig wohnt auf deinen Augenliden!
Dann wollt' ich ja zufrieden
Durch diese Stürme wogen,
Wär' all die Wonne, die mir ist entzogen,
Vom Glücke dir beſchieden !
O du, die mir hienieden
Das Teuerste, was unterm Himmelsbogen!
