by Christian Morgenstern (1871 - 1914)

Es kommt der Schmerz gegangen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es kommt der Schmerz gegangen
und streicht mir über die Wangen
wie seinem liebsten Kind.
Da tönt mein' Stimm' gebrochen.
Doch meines Herzens Pochen
verzagt nicht so geschwind.

Und gab' die böse Stunde
noch gerner von sich Kunde;
mein Herz ist fromm und fest.
Ich bin ein guter Heide;
mein Lachen zieht zu Felde,
Und Siegen ist der Rest.
