by Albert Träger (1830 - 1912)

Und würdest nie die Hand du falten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Und würdest nie die Hand du falten,
Daß betend sie zum Himmel fleht,
Stets wird er segnend ob dir walten:
Du bist ja selber ein Gebet.

Und wirst auch keinen Laut Du singen,
Der Lorbeer, den die Dichtung flicht,
Wird Deine schöne Stirn umschlingen,
Du bist ja selber ein Gedicht.
