by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

So weich und warm
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So weich und warm
Hegt dich kein Arm,
Wie dich der Mutter Arm umfängt.
Nie findest du
So süße Ruh,
Als wenn dein Aug an ihrem hängt.

Und kehrt ergreist
Dem müden Geist
Noch manch ein Jugendbild zurück,
Es grüßt dich keins
So milden Scheins,
Wie deiner Mutter Segensblick.

O führt dich nicht
Dies liebe Licht
Ins dunkle Leben treulich ein,
Ob auch die Welt
Sich dir gesellt,
Bist dennoch mutterseelenallein!
